I use the 9210 Communicator as the principal contacts base , i.e. I
enter my contacts in the phone and  then through PC Suite ,
synchronize from Communicator to Outlook . However the fields (
addresses , faxes , names etc ) do not correspond.Only a few do.
Consequently data gets lost , is duplicated etc..Also after back up
and restoring to Communicator from Outlook  things disappear or end up
in the wrong place.
The Nokia helpline people say that you have to start entering info in
Outlook and then synchronize towards the Communicator.This would not
be the preferred solution for me.Has anybody with Communicator
experience got a good solution please ?? Is Outlook perhaps not a good
choice ?

Hello,

After reading your posts over again, I think I didn't really answer
this question. Did you post the other message because you wanted me to
tackle this question?

Request for Question Clarification by tisme-ga on 01 Dec 2002 10:06 PST

Hello katan, 
 
I have requested that my answer be removed from your $10 post so I am
posting this here again:

I have started researching this problem and have been coming up with
some useful information. I will summarize my finding for you later
today.

To help me test out some of the solutions it would be great if you
could,  upload a sample of the file that you are importing to
Microsoft Outlook with FAKE contact information. Also tell me what
version of Outlook you are using (2002 may not be compatible but 2000,
98 and 97 should be). Finally if you can, export the file into text
format (tab-delimited) and provide me with a place to download that as
well.

I also want you to know that because the product website and
specifications clearly say that this product should be compatible with
Outlook, that if you cannot get this working, you can request a
different phone or a refund from the company. In essence, this is
false advertising. I had a similar problem with a wireless network
that was advertised as being fully compatible with Windows 2000 but
was not.
 
Sorry for the misunderstanding, it was early in the morning and I
thought you were saying that my other answer had solved your problem.
I look forward to your response to this clarification request.

Hello Tismega

Thank you for your interest.First things first.Let's increase the tab
for this question from 50 to 60 dollars.Tell me how to do that.Please
have the 10 dollar question completely removed with answers and
comments .It's a bit confusing with those URL's !
I am currently in Paris and will return to London in a few days from
where I can deal with your requests as thats where the PC is.
May I make a suggestion : that you contact the Nokia helpline in the
USA
and check with them.Remember the 9210 that I have is aclled 9290 in
the US.It's the same except for different bandwidths.
Please re-read my questions.
I have Outlook 2000. I don't want to exercise the option of asking for
refund , as I like the phone very much and it is a rather unique
machine.The contacts
synchro is a challenge !!!
I shall stay in touch whilst travelling and checking any postings that
you make.
Thanks 
Katanga
ps Give me site where to upload the data when I'm back in London ,
please.
