How to import contacts from symbian mobile to android mobile?

Question

I had Nokia 5610 ( S40 v5 ) mobile, and recently i got a new Android mobile ( HTC Desire S ). Now, when i put my sim card in my new phone i get all contacts which were saved in SIM memory, but there were lots of contacts in phone memory. I would like to import those also. How can i do that?

Answer 1

If your old Symbian Phone have Bluetooth you can go to address book application, select all contacts and send them through Bluetooth to your new phone.

This will send a vcard file for each contact to your new phone and then you can import this data to your Android Phone.

I think the option to send a given contact via Bluetooth to another phone is: Select the contact and the Details > Options > Send business card

Answer 2

You will need the Nokia PC Suite tool but here is the easiest and fastest way.

1. Connect Nokia to PC using the PC-Suite
2. go to Contacts - press CTRL+A (select all)
3. go to Desktop/Subfolder - press CTRL+V (paste)
4. that will create a .vcf file for each contact
5. from a command prompt run the following command in the folderon your desktop where the files are saved: copy *.vcf contacts.txt
6. open http://google.com/contacts
7. choose "Import" link in google contacts.

Answer 3

If you save a backup of your contacts onto your Symbian phone's SD card, it appears as an NBF file. This is a zip file, which contains all your contacts in VCF format -- if you concatenate them all together, you can upload them to Google Contacts in one go.

For more details about how I discovered this, I wrote a blog post at the time.

Try using the Nokia PC suit to move all the contacts from the phone to the SIM card. This works in Samsung's Kies.
