Prakat Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Have to say I am surprised that this is a concern.
Vijay.Sharma Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Have to say I am surprised that this is a concern.Its the mapping that is the concern and the formats. When I moved from sony ericsson to htc 3 yes back I used csv format. But then I was only moving phone numbers. But now I want to have a common address book of sorts where the superset is available. I have Outlook, I have Windows Contacts, I have a Gmail account and I am planning to buy an iphone. So first I need to get all my contacts in one place....and although it seems stupid I am resigned to the fact that I will need to do it manually. At least once that is done when I buy a new phone I jusr wanna synchronize. I dont use Yahoo
ganeshran Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 IPhone can sync with your google contacts. Not only iphone, it works with symbian, blackberry and Windows Phone too
punjabi_khota Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 What do the vedas say about this conundrum ? How did Arjun and Co. maintain all their contacts, including 100 cousins etc.
Vijay.Sharma Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 IPhone can sync with your google contacts. Not only iphone' date=' it works with symbian, blackberry and Windows Phone too[/quote']So you suggest that I have all my contacts - both phone book and email - in gmail. And then when I buy the iphone or whichever phone I finally decide to buy, then I synchronize it with google contact. Cool thanks! Anymore suggestions are welcome. As I understand, keep the base contacts format as the Google format and not Outlook or Windows, right?
retterimp Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 did fineleg hack into your account? :hmmm:
Vijay.Sharma Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 did fineleg hack into your account? :hmmm:LOL no...I am just planning to buy a new phine and I thought this would be a good time to get all my contacts at one place and sync it with whichever phone I buy
Vijay.Sharma Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Folks, also is vCard a good format to store your contacts in? I am assuming vCard is what the default Windows Contacts thingy in Win 7 uses. Is it a good enough format to sync contacts with other formats like Outlook, Gmail, Apple, etc?

ganeshran Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Android phone isnt necessary for Google contacts. It works with all platforms.
Vijay.Sharma Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 Do iphone and google contacts sync well?
Cricketics Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Keep the auto-save feature on on your android sets. Best thing ever seriously.
