How To: Mac Address Book To Nokia Phone

Rameses · 9 Oct 2009 at 20:52

So yeah

I sold my iPhone so I can pay up my existing contract, and get a new 3GS. In the mean time I bought a backup phone (Nokia 6303 Black Classic), which by the way is actually pretty damn good!

Problem is I have no contacts saved on my SIM? Yet all are on Address Book.

iSync doesn't / won't work with it? Is there any software solution to this?

Thanks for any help.

Should be able to export a vcard (highlight all the names, drag them to the desktop) then bluetooth that bad boy to the Nokia. Usually works in my experience, provided the phone's got bluetooth obviously.

also check the nokia site, there may be a mac version of thier suite which allows contacts to be backed up

Yeah, check the nokia site, they may have a plugin for isync. That's what I had to do on my sony ericsson.

Almost all nokia phones have a plugin for isync available so you can just use that via bluetooth...

vCard solution doesn't work, downloaded iSync plug in and that doesn't / won't work....

Not a damn contact on my phone! boooooooohoooooo.

Glad you got it going... I still have a VirtualBox machine running WinXP under OSX, which I keep Nokia suite running within... It works but it's pretty clunky, but it allows me to use things like Nokia Maps downloader which need the .net framework to run. I think your solution is better for contacts synching, 9 euro is very little when you consider what a pain it would be if you lost all your numbers!

Bet you could have done it my way.

Yeah I have Fusion, but not installed it on this laptop as I'm selling it but oh well. Glad its worked though, and for 9 euros its a nice little app/solution.
