Is there any way to import a contact list to the Orbit if that list is in an excel file (column headings match the contacts descriptions)?
Have you tried importing into Outlook on your PC and then sync-ing with the XDA ?
No. I don't use any address/contacts list on my PC. I'll take a look at doing it this way though, thanks for the suggestion

is there an application that makes the BA able to add contacts from an sms message the way nokia phones do? i know this function exists in O2 plus but that lacks a lot of functionality.all youre able to do is add a first and last name. what could be much more functional would be something that opens up your default contacts PIM and lets you add all the details you need to add. anyone?

Does anyone know how to change the categories in the contacts information?? It only has Business, Holiday, Personal and Seasonal. I would like a different selection.
If you sync to microsoft outlook you can change the categories of your contacts. This will show up on your phone.
all my contacts from my previous phone were backed up into "windows contacts" i figured this would make importing them into my Tp2 rather simple.
however i cannot seem to import the "windows contacts" into outlook 2007 to transfer them over to the device. what exactly am i missing here?
OS is Win7 Beta 7100.
There is no direct import or export.
Open Windows Contacts
Click on Export button
Select Comma Separated Values (.CSV) on the popup screen
Save the file to hard drive
Open Outlook 2003/2007
File > Import and Export > Import from another program or file > Comma Separated Values (Windows)
Locate the CSV file and import
tried that. the "import and export" setting under the file drop down is grayed out. i cant even create a new contact under the contacts portion of Outlook.
ideas? i'm trying to use Google sync. but jesus, why is this such a dam hassle?
can you not drag your contacts out into a folder, then drag them into outlook?
The instructions are for my Office 2003, your Office/Outlook 2007 may differ
- go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs on Windows XP or older), select Office/Outlook 2007 and click [Change]
- click the Add/Remove Features radio button, click [Next]
- check "advanced customization of applications"
- click and expand Microsoft Office Outlook to show submenus
- click and expand "Importers and Exporters" and make sure Text (DOS) and Text (Win) are installed (i.e., Run from my computer)

Try create a new user profile. Delete the old one if the new one works.

hi,
i searching a way to sort my contacts on my htc. I saw that there s a field categories which can be used by Resco contacts manager. But you need to "buy" that app and if i use that one, it ll be good that i ll change the shortcut in the sense menu..
Is there any other to be able to sort the contacts by categories ?
thx
Does anyone please know the answer to the following problem?
I have imported all my contacts from Microsoft Office using HTC Synch. When I go to the 'People' tab, all the contacts display as First Name then Surname .
eg John Smith
In Outlook they were displayed as Surname, First Name.
If I edit the individial contact, I can choose between displaying as
John Smith or
Smith, John
I want the Smith, John option for all my contacts. Is there any way I can get all of my contacts to display in this format without having to edit them all individually? I can find nothing in the User Guide that helps...

Same problem for me : a bit hard to find someone by the firstname ...
And I don't want to edit each of my contact.
I've searched the web for an app. which does it properly but didn't find anything...
Anybody here who got a solution ?
From looking around it seems Googles thinking on this is "Don't sort...search"
I guess I just need to get used to hitting the search key and finding my contact that way rather than scrolling through a list. I know it's faster, but my brain keeps telling me it's the long way round. Weird.
