| tonycsm Photographer  Location United Kingdom East Yorkshire Driffield | I'm currently trying out an iPhone 3GS which my daughter gave me recently - I'm using a PAYG O2 sim for the moment from another phone I keep for emergencies and eveything so far seems to be working ok. ( except probably for my brain as I'm a bit of phone retard  )Currently I am using an old Sony Ericsson C902 ( again O2) as my main phone - is there a simple way of transferring the large number of contacts I have stored on my current SE phone to the iPhone 3GS? It seems most contacts are stored on a micro-SD card or whatever they call them on the Sony E but the iPhone doesn't take these cards so I'll need to copy them in some other way. Any help gratefully appreciated. |

Sorry to say it but the iPhone stores them in a different format to other phones so they won't accept their phone book or contacts. Stupid I know but it will give you a chance to sort them out and get rid of the old unused ones. |

| otteypm Photographer  Location United Kingdom Staffordshire | I transfered all my contacts through yahoo mail, check and see if the sony can sync its contacts to a mail programme you have, then sync those across to the iPhone. It was a bit of a faff when I did it but all the names and numbers went across. | |

| tonycsm Photographer Location United Kingdom East Yorkshire Driffield | Having just looked, it seems that I've managed to pick up some contacts I have in Microsoft Outlook on the iPhone if not from the sim, so looks like I might be able to do it that way! | |

Simple..ish and you may have already stumbled onto it Both Sony and Apple will allow you to import and export contacts from MS Outlook You need three bits of software (Outlook, Itunes, Sony ericsons PC suite) They are all free apart from MS Outlook Sync your contacts from your Sony to Outlook using the Sony Software - Phone >> PC Sync your contacts from Outlook to the iphone using itunes - PC >> Phone | |

I've managed to transfer my contacts via Sony's software into Outlook but I can't seem to find a reliable way to sync the iPhone with MS Outlook contacts via iTunes? What should I be looking for in iTunes? |

| tonycsm Photographer Location United Kingdom East Yorkshire Driffield | Problem solved! Quite simple really - once I actually looked properly at iTunes. Just sync your current phone with Outlook and then sync the iPhone through iTunes and it works fine. I now have all my contacts, bookmarks and even my Outlook Calendar on the iPhone - excellent! |
