What else is there to use other then M$ Office Outlook, so i can sync my contacts and stuff??
If you use Gmail, Google Calendar, etc., then Google Synch is wonderful.

Try PIM backup. It has a scheduled autobackup feature. I used both that and MyPhone for double backup.
Could also use hotmail exchange to sync/backup your contacts on hotmail. Lately, I've been trying this instead of MyPhone and it seems to work well.

Also, isn't there now Hotmail with actual Exchange features like Tasks, Calendar, Contacts and Email? With Windows Phone 7 you'll need the Live credentials, so it only makes sense to have it all under one platform.
If you're using Thunderbird you can use Birdiesync to sync your contacts , it's not freeware but worth the 20 bucks to register it. It will also sync your calendar to Mozilla Lightning or Sunbird.

I am planning on doing a flash to WM6.
I have a HTC 8525.
Is there a way to backup my contact list before I do a flash?
PIMBackup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
It will back up your contact list, messages, phone history etc..
Wow. EXACTLY what I needed!
I personally prefer syncing w/ outlook on the computer so that EVERY time I need my contacts back (I flash a lot)(get ur mind outta the gutter ) I just sync my phone with outlook. Does appointments, tasks and emails too.
be careful when you backup your contacts
you must deactivate the encryption option in wm6 TO MAKE PIMBACKUP READ YOUR BACKUP FILE NON ENCRYPTED WITH .MENC EXTENSION

I do something similar as well. Before a ROM flash I make a copy/archive both the Outlook calendar and contacts. Then I make a small change on a calendar and contact entry on the PC and then sync (so that the PC has the latest timestamp before a synch). This avoids any possibility of 'oh crap I synched my phone with outlook and now everything is wiped out on my outlook calendar and contacts'.

Hm im using 07 as well...although its been so long i cant remember if i had to install a patch/fix or not. I'm pretty sure i didnt tho.
I did a backup using this software, and it works flawless. I just did a flash, and restored my contacts/messages/calendar......thanks.
I have been trying to restore my contacts from my Mogul to my new TP2 with no success. When I try restoring just the contact data with SPB Backup, it hoses CPROG.EXE and SERVICES.EXE ...
Is there any other way to transfer the phone list? I have a LOT of stuff there I don't wish to lose.
I've used Total Commander to save pim.vol file to my storage card. Pop it in the TP2 and copy over.
Also use an exchange server. Google has a free one. I like Mail2web.
Export to outlook, import from outlook.
Why the **** would you try to do it the most complicated way? ActiveSync exists to SYNC.

Because my Outlook contact list is not on this machine; as well, I have a different contact list in Outlook from my personal directory on the phone. I don't generally sync the contact lists.
Microsoft My Phone
Login on Mogul
Sync.
Login on Tp2
Sync.

You can run ActiveSync without syncing contacts. Just uncheck them from the list.
Worst case, if you don't want to touch your outlook, make another account on your machine, get a clean outlook profile, sync, sync, delete the account.
Simpler = better.
If there is Sprint Store nearby, they will transfer your contacts quickly.
ok i have an outlook email account but its not part of activesync. I can of course get my email on the phone but on one of my older phones the mogul I could set up my outlook on it and i used it to receive vcf files, and my calendar, appts, and reminders.
is their any app or way to get it like that on my evo?
Moxier mail works for me
does moxier mail read vcf files? and can it pull in contacts? also isnt it 30$

The HTC Sync software actually works really well for me. I have Outlook 2003, and between it, and my google calendar, and work calendar, it all shows up fine on the Evo.
HTC Sync will take some tweaking, though. Your contacts (google in my case) will appear doubled - you'll have 'phone' and 'google' contacts - just link them and they'll sync either way - up to google or down to your outlook. The phone will act as the bridge between them.
but does that enable you to view vcf files? and import info?
Hey guys...Just wondering if Google Sync will work with our WP7 devices. I know it worked for Windows Mobile. Ideas?
Thanks.
Pulling two bits of information together, WP7 supports Exchange Activesync, and Google's support for Exchange Activesync is published here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139652
...which amounts to a "yes", although from memory I thought that they only supported Calendar sync for WP7. Still, I could have remembered wrong or they may have improved things... or I might be right. (I only read it last week.)
You emails will of course sync via the standard mail protocols (I assume).
I mainly concerned with getting all my Google contacts.
If you configure your Google account as an Outlook account in WP7, then it will pull your emails, contacts, tasks and calendar (or your choice of those four) onto your phone really easily.
I have another question. Does Outlook Connector support for sync contact pictures to the Hotmail account? Because when I try to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with Hotmail (for WP7 Exchange Activesync), then contact photos are not synchronized

Not tasks. There is no concept of "tasks" in WP7.

Can you please explain?
Hello, I have read the above entries, but am still stuck. I have entered my google mail details by selecting the google account option, then have select contacts in the settings, but it still wont sync my contacts, what am I doing wrong?
I want to sync tasks with Google. I am unable to find that option.. Please help...Thank you
tasks in general are not supported natively. you have to find an application to do it. i have seen an article a few days back on it, but i can't seem to dig it up.

there is no need to set it up like that. simply setup google as google and just whatever you choose will be synced. you can check several option after setup when you tap on that account.

google sync does work
just set up your gmail as another account and your contacts will autosync
Hi everyone,

i agree. the outlook app is same as the old hotmail app which is to say very lousy and fairly ugly compared to standard android mail app
I would not recommend using the outlook app because it causes hours of wakelocks a day. Oddly enough the Hotmail one doesn't. Neither are really necessary.
