fairm010 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Hello people of Eduland! My boss has just bought me a Lumia 800 and I need to know how I would go about transferring all my iPhone contacts (that do exist on iCloud) to my Lumia. As I am typing this i realize I could export them from Outlook and into the phone. Does Zune (Am i right in thinking that it the desktop software?) have a contacts import utility? And if so, what format? Matt
HMCTech Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 On my Lumia 920 was an app called Nokia "Transfer my Data" which connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth and synced the contacts. I am unsure if its just a WP8 app but I imagine it will have an equivalent for WP7
fairm010 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 Now that is genius. Hopefully thats not just a WP8 thing!
mattianuk Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 It isn't - I did this on my lumia running 7.5 . They are cracking phones.
SYNACK Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 There is no direct import sort of the Nokia add on, otherwise you just need to import the contacts into a web accessible place like your exchange server, hot mail/outlook.com etc. If it is not yet running 7.8 you can force the upgrade: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/108350-force-update-7-5-7-8-a.html#post928020 It gives you the new start screen and all the refinements.
fairm010 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 It will be updated to 7.8 literally once it leaves the box!
Jon_boy1984 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Welcome to the dark side! (or light side, depends on the theme you pick really!) :-D
fairm010 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 I don't get it until next week! My iPhone is 4 years old and *keeps* losing signal! I think the dark theme will be my preference! Do we have a WP owners club?
nickbro Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Move your contacts to outlook.com/office 365/even gmail, they then sync with you on which ever phone you use utilizing EAS, iCloud is apple only. Welcome to the dark side (lumia 920 and previous HD7 user)
jdoldridge Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Lumie 800 is a fantastic phone. I loved mine but unfortunately I had an accident involving me, the phone and the floor on new years so I am using an old xperia now and I hate it compared to my WP7.5 OS. Although I got a nice pay rise at the end of the month so I may treat myself to the new 920 EDIT** As for transferring contacts I managed to export mine to a CSV and then import them into live and added my live account to the phone which was quite easy Edited February 7, 2013 by jdoldridge Had a major brain fart and forgot to say what I meant to say

Do we have a WP owners club? Yes but I had not found it: http://www.edugeek.net/groups/windows-phone-owners-club.html 1
Jon_boy1984 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Do we have a WP owners club? No, but thats not a bad plan!
Jon_boy1984 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Yes but I had not found it: Windows Phone Owners Club - EduGeek.net I really should finish reading a thread before posting!
fairm010 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 7.8?? IS that available on the 800? I'm unsure, but from what i've read it is. Look at this thread: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/108350-force-update-7-5-7-8-a.html#post928020
