Mind over Matters: Rumbles of my mind.. Echo in this blog..

Ever since Muthu got his new iPhone, he has gone crazy discovering new features and hacks in it. Meanwhile i have been trying to find out what  features my humble P2 supports. Yesterday i put in some new wall papers from the abi forums Recently i got the urge to try out transferring my contacts in my cell phone to my P2. P2 unfortunately does not support creating address book contacts from the device itself. I have an old sony K700i phone. 

Three different ways of transferring your contacts from the phone to your P2

 1) Directly from phone to P2

Since P2 has bluetooth capabilities, you can send your contacts directly from phone to P2 via blue tooth.
Disadvantage - Only one contact at a time transferrable

2) From your computer

There is a MyPhone Explorer software available from the internet (free software) through which you can connect to your phone and transfer your address book to your computer as a "vcf" file.
Now, transfer your vcf file into the "My Received Files" folder in your P2. You can see a lot of contacts.

Disadvantage - Some kind of bug.. Alternate contacts are shown

3) From your computer - P2

Transfer your contacts to your computer as step 2 mentions. But now, import them into your outlook express. Now, export each one of your contacts as a "single" VCF file.

Next, create an "Contacts" folder in your root of the P2 (of course after you have connected it to your computer)
Transfer all the vcf files that you have created to your "Contacts" folder.

Now disconnect your P2 and switch it on. Go to Prime Pack -> Address Book.

You should be all set with dialling from your P2!
