Changed phone - can I upload old contacts to new phone?

Hi

I was using MPE with a SE W610i to backup my contacts and sms data, which worked absolutely fine. Now I have a new phone (W595) with a new network provider. I have tried doing exactly what I did before, connecting the phone via USB and setting it to phone mode and opening MPE. However, when I go to File|Connect I get the instant error message "Could not open COM3!". I imagine I have probably missed something simple, but is it possible to connect this new phone to the software which I guess is still trying to recognise my old phone? And then is it possible to copy my contacts onto my new phone?

Thanks a lot

Typical, isn't it? You ask for some help, and then with a bit of fiddling around you work it out yourself! Turns out my new phone was COM7 and I found that you could change this in File|Options, which obviously allowed it to work. And then I could easily switch between the two phones, export the phonebook from my old one (right click|export) and then import this into the phonebook for my new phone and sync it up. Now its all fine. Cheers anyway!
