Hi,

My N900 is at Nokia for a repair and I couldnt transfer the contacts before since it was the touchscreen which was useless. I have made a backup before my N900 broke. So now I need to get my contacts from the backup into my n95. Please help me

THANKS

Rgds

There's no easy way I'm afraid - the backup just contains the SQLite database for the contacts, so you have to figure out how to get the data out of there and into a usable format. While that shouldn't be too difficult to do, there's not going to be anything off-the-peg to do it.

I did mine from my N95 over bluetooth.

1. Inside contacts open the menu and click "Get contacts".
2. Select "Synchronise from other device".
3. If your N95 is not already bluetooth bonded to your N900 Click "New".
4. In the Wizard click "Next".
5. Then "Retrieve data" and "Next".
6. Click "Select device" and bind to your N95.
7. Follow the remaining instructions from there.

I had this issue. Saved my N900 contacts as Vcards in all versions. Then used windows live AND outlook to import them and then transfer back to N95.

Sadly it worked badly. I never managed to get all the fields matched and the 16 days 3hrs and 39mins my N900 was gone was sheer and utter hell.

Just pray to the Nokia gods that you will not be parted from your N900 for long.

HI, What happened with your N900? Touchscreen issue as well as mine?
