Dear FJ Software Members,

Thanks for the software that you made an excellent software for the Sony Erricson Phones. I am so thankful to you for the rapid developement day by day in the software. I have a query that;

Becz on my Other Cell-phones, I want to copy my all contacts as it is;
Is it possible that we can copy/export our contacts to Excel or to Outlook format completely like;

a)Phone Numbers:
fax, other

b)Other:
Company, Web, Info

c)Address:
Stree, Postcode, City, State, Country

d)Birthday Indication

I hope you can understand and can do it!
Hope for the best.

Thanks and best regards,

There is a way I found to transfer all your contacts to Outlook. It's a bit of a hack, so you have to be careful and I would always recommend you take a backup of your phone and the MPE directories before doing anything like this.

1) Go to c:\documents and settings\[username]\application data\myphoneexplorer\[profilename]
2) Take a copy of phonebook.dat and paste it somewhere else (like desktop, my documents, etc.)
3) Rename the file to phonebook.vcf

You should now be able to import this vCard File into Outlook through the normal channels.

Why always using hacks if there are already existing features for it ?

Possibility 1) Select the contacts->rightclick->Import/Export->Export selected entries-> as csv-File->Open the file in Excel
Possibility 2) Select/Unselect the shown columns with xxx on the list-header -> choose Menu-Extras-Current list-Open with Excel

Oh Wow!

Thanks a lot, FJ and Eddie Plum. I got the contacts to another Phone.

Do not use Extras-Current list for this purpose.
MyPhoneExplorer can export and import *.csv-Files
