Re: PR 1.2 :Easy way to merge contacts
 
Or at least a way to have all contacts in the PC, because in my case example:

Contact 1: Name: Mario Mobile No. 123456789 e-mail: 123@123.com
Contact 2 Nikcname: Mario webpage: www.test.com
Contact 3: mario.aguado

then contact 2 and 3 are from facebook and skype
But when i sync to Ms outlook or Ovi Suite just the Contact 1 is synced.
2 and 3 no. then then only way is via merge option in N900

will be nice the way to sync all contacts in a PC and the merge it then sync again to N900 and solved.

what do you think?

I'm after a way to do this too if anyone knows? or anyway to put it in outlook so MfE will sync them across?
There are Just too many : phone, skype, fb, msn-pecan.
And it is much much slower in 1.2

Don't think so, most of the contacts only exist locally one the N900(if you sync you would only get the pure phone contacts, not Facebook, MSN etc. contacts). At least that's my guess.

Hi

Any easy way to merge contacts as it takes ages using it on device.

there *is* a quick way but you need to hire the large hadron collider, so its not cheap :(

There are a million fields spare for contacts in outlook.. would it be possible to get these type informations to syn backwards?
Don't really know how contacts and outlook/exchange integration works..

Yep agree this is a major annoyance. I even deleted my jabber account and yet the jabber details still exist on my contacts. And there must be a way to merge the new facebook contacts created to existing contacts. When something happened that caused the jabber facebook contacts to be unmerged someone created a Facebook Migrator app that remerged the contacts. Can't some kind person create a similar app to merge the new facebook contacts?

+1 on the app request.

I tried once to export vCards from the N900, merge them all nice and neat on my Mac, and then back to the N900. It didn't work -- once I logged into the chat services, it was the same thing again.

To me, either Ovi Sync/PC Suite should be able to do this. Or something along those lines. It's very frustrating, especially when you go to make a phone call and you hit the wrong entry.
