A little correction for this step;

Step 4 %AppData%\Local\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\Sync\SyncML

I think that's right.

I'm also interested in converting everything from iPhone to Sony Erricsson.

Is there a way to do that?

Hi,
For the past few days, I faced the same problem and headache of trying to transfer phone contacts from sony ericsson to iphone 4. I have about 700+ contacts.

A few blogs suggest using the PC suite or Outlook express. I tried and could not do it successfully. Someone said using SIM card transfer, but the iphone 4 Sim card is not the same size. This morning, I was looking at SIM card adapter and realised that it is nothing, but a piece of cardboard to make the iphone 4 SIM card bigger.

So why not, just aligned the small SIM card from iphone 4 into the sony ericsson properly and perform the phone contacts. This is what I did and finally transfer all my contacts.

please tell details step 6 and step 7
how to convert txt to vcf, it doesnot work in my computer...

It's always a pain for me to import contacts to my new phone. I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S I bought from timechs and I will need to transfer all my data from my X10i. Thanks for the tip and keep it coming!

Totally agree... This saves you a lot of pain...

I tried as suggested. But did not find any contacts.vcf file on my PC! I am using Windows XP SP2. The PC suite syncs my contacts to .wab format in Outlook Express. So will I still be able to transfer the contacts from .wab file to iPhone 4? Any idea?

Thanks

That's weird, I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I use windows vista ultimate when I did this.

hi there, thanks for this tutorial!

however, ive only managed to reach step 3...
when i try to enter step 4 into run, it wont work (somehow i dont have the 'users' folder on my C drive >_<)
even so, ive tried to find the syncML file thru program files, under sony ericsson pc suite, and bam! its there!

...but then i cant see a contacts.txt file....

i'm a XP user, but dont think its related to being a XP user or Vista user for this...

do you have any ideas?

Wow thanks for the tutorial awesome & will give it a try...

Download Sony Ericsson PC Suite
Launch the program and under Editors, click Contacts
Your contacts should upload to the PC suite


next go to Tools >synchronisation.
Hopefully it will have an option to sync with windows contacts
Press start sync
This will transfer your contacts to windows mail.

Connect your Ipod to your computer and open itunes.
Double click your Iphone icon on left bar.
Go to " info "on top bar and open
Tick sync with box, and select windows contacts
after sync is completed your contacts should appear in your iphone

It's helpful to me

Thanks for sharing. This will save the time and errors of others.

Hi,

Thanks for the guidance. Unfortunately I cannot go further than step 2!

When I launch “Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0” and try to connect my cell phone (W550i) to it, it says “PC Companion was not able to connect the phone. Please disconnect and connect again.”

I have checked the USB cable and I have tried different USB ports, but I have got the same message.
How can I connect it?

Thank you in advance,
Victoria.

I have a small problem, I have a macbook pro, not a pc. will the program above still work for my computer?
