Check the Club Nokia web site. I used to have a Nokia phone, and they have a software suite that will allow you to export contacts from Outlook to most of their phones.

You can Sync your contacts to your PC, then use the Nokia Suite to copy them from Outlook to your Nokia.
Note that if you don't have access to a Nokia data cable, in many cases you can sync with Infra-Red. I had an old Nokia 6610 and used IR from my laptop to keep my contacts up-to-date.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
just install this, plug into activesync and you can view your phone from your desktop...therefore you can just copy everything to the sim and you should be all set.

Maybe a Sprint store can help you with that. Maybe HDMI out? Dunno...
Yea, maybe we'll give that a try unless someone else has any suggestions.

You can't use the kb to touch the yes button?
Do you use GMail/Google sync? I'm guessing no. Might not be worth setting up now.
I would do my best to get an app like PIMBackup installed.
If you had used Google to sync your contacts, you could just sync your new phone with Google and voila... I know, little late.
Have you seen MyMobiler? You can control the phone with an ActiveSync connection.
If you sync your contacts using outlook they should just go over to the new phone when you plug it in. As for touching the yes button im afraid your a bit out of luck with that as the only way to do it is to install pocket controller. Saying that though, It has been a while since i actually installed it,but i am sure the latest version auto installs so you wont need to press any keys on the phone. That will allow you to control the phone from your pc. The easiest way to transfer the contacts though is to simply sync them to outlook.
So i dont understand why you cant do it?

I think you can take it to a T Mobile store and they'll just do everything for you.
I'm a do it yourselfer too whenever possible, but if someone will just plug it in and take care of it for you in 5 minutes that might be the simplest option here.
Unfortunately you're out of luck. Your phone won't display the contents of the internal SD card unless you unlock the phone which requires a working screen. If recovered info off someone's phone with a broken screen by connecting a working screen to it temporarily to unlock it.
This requires taking your phone apart but is very easy if you're comfortable.

You might be able to use Heimdall on a Mac or Linux machine to pull the data. Im not entirely sure how or what you would do with it once you pulled it. But that might give you a start for your research

Contacts recovery possible?

Hi, been asked if I can recover the contacts from a friends Galaxy a3 (a300fu) but the screen and touch panel are damaged.
The display is black and you can hear the phone detecting phantom screen presses.
My windows laptop detects it as a media player so I suspect it is "alive"
I have tried some software but it needs USB debugging enabled and as I cant see/touch I cant get into the menu to enable developer mode.
His contacts are stored on the phone and he doesn't use google back up.
Is there any way I can recover his contacts?
Thanks..

If your friend has a galaxy account contacts should be restored upon setting up a new phone. So, if the new phone is a galaxy, then contacts can be restored after signing into Galaxy account. Apart from that, I'm really not sure.
Is there any chance contacts are saved to SIM? You could swap the SIM into another phone, then export them somehow

Try google contacts. I hadn't backed my contacts and I installed google contacts and all contacts from my wrecked phone appeared.
