HTC Desire Tips, Tricks and Tweaks
HOW TO: Transfer Contacts from a Nokia Phone to HTC Desire
Note: This may work with other Nokia phones too depending on the version of Symbian OS that they use. This method is so easy it’s quite unbelievable.
Here’s what you do:
- On your Nokia go to Contacts
- Go on Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark All
- Go on Options > Copy > To Memory Card
- Connect your phone to PC
- Browse to /Other/Contacts/ on your phone’s memory card
- Copy all the .vcf files to your PC
- Connect your Desire to PC and mount as USB
- Copy all the .vcfs to the SDCard (make a directory for neatness if you like)
- Open the People app on the Desire
- Press the Menu button and select Import/Export
- Select the Import from SDCard option
- Select the Import All vCard files option
- Ta-da!
All your contacts will now be on your Desire using really simple steps.
NOTE: This has been tested on an N95 and should work on other phones too. It even worked on a Sony Ericsson K750i!

After a while we ended up getting this working.
There was no option to export the contacts, only to ‘save a backup’.
The backup file extension can be changed to .zip, then you can browse through it to locate the VCF contact files.
Those files are then able to be imported into the droid.
One other issue was that we found that a few contacts were missing. Ended up having to remove all items from phone, clear google contacts cache(we imported them into google contacts, then let it re-import from Google.
After all that, it seems to work fine.

There is an equally simple way, using MOBILedit.
MOBILedit! software is capable of migrating data between various phones. It allows you to connect phones to PC and manage its content.
How to copy data from one phone to another:
1) Download and install MOBILedit! (http://www.mobiledit.com/downloads.htm) and also the mobile phones cable drivers pack (also there).
2) Plug both phones to your computer and let the drivers to be installed automatically (you can use cable, BlueTooth or infraport).
3) Open MOBILedit! and run the Connection Wizard. Both phones will be found and connected immediatelly, if everything goes well.
4) Go to Phone Copier plugin and set it up so the source phone is displayed on the left side and the destination phone on the right.
5) Choose contacts and other content to be copied.
6) Hit the big Copy button and voila!Like or Dislike:

The easiest, no time consuming at all and the most effective method I could find is to sync your Nokia contacts with google and get them on your android phone. Most Nokia s60 phones have an application named “mail for exchange” is pre installed or can be installed from Nokia store for free. To setup a google account in mail for exchange follow instructions on http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
While setting up, only select contacts to be synced and select “no” for everything else if your only goal is to transfer contacts. When setup is complete, in “mail for exchange” app opened, select “options” and select “synchronize”. All your contacts will be on google in seconds. Later, just sync your android phone with your google account and all your contacts are there.
Keep in mind to be patient. “Mail for exchange” pauses for a moment after every 50 contacts have transferred. This is the most helpful method I could find after a whole night’s research and it really worked for me.
