Importing contacts from Nokia E71 to HTC Desire
In my previous post I was asking which phone I should buy: Desire, Nexus or iPhone. Finally I decided to go with HTC Desire and for my wife I bought Desire’s little brother HTC Wildfire 
.
After playing about 4-5 days with Desire, I can say that it is an amazing phone, I love it.
First thing which I did was to install some applications on it, which I use frequently: ConnectBot (ssh client), AndFTP (ftp client), Dropbox, Evernote, AK Notepad, ColorNote, Compas, Color Flashlight, iReader, KeePassDroid and Yahoo Messenger. You can find all of them using Android Market.
The second thing was to import the contacts from Nokia E71 onto Desire, Here is how I did it:
- turn Bluetooth on both devices and pair them
- Nokia: Contacts -> Options -> Mark/Unmark -> Mark All
- Nokia: Options -> Send -> Send Business Card
- Desire: Accept the incoming file: the icon will appear at the top of the screen
- Desire: wait a little bit, and after that choose “Import All Contacts”
- Done
I think that method should work with different phones.

Thanks. I still didn’t get Froyo because is T-Mobile branded, but unlocked, so I have to wait a few weeks more to get the update. If they will not provide the update in about one month I think I will flash it with unbranded 2.2. I will see.
Hi, I am trying this too but when I mark more than one contact in my Nokia address book I lose the option to send as busines card – just by text, email, mms, audio message.
Congratulations, it’s a good choice. I have mine since it was available, and am very happy. Since I got Froyo (last Weekend) even more!
And development for Android is nice as well. I feel sorry for people being forced to use obj-c.
