Nokia Con Windows

[Lorna Schildt]

Itend to write notes to myself as sms messages, but notes can be three times longer so that would be very handy, but I can't get them off the phone to copy and paste into documents I'm working on (there are a couple of programs from nokia which allow me to download text messages to my computer or read them and copy/paste).

Send them to the PC via Bluetooth one by one (as you already found out), or mark them and send all the marked ones once (on the PC side you will be asked where to save for every single one, but apart from the need to press OK multiple times, it's not that bad)

Backup the phone with PC Suite/Ovi Suite (only the Notes section), and then open the .nbu file generated by backup with NbuExplorer. You will be able to see them in the Memo section and do whatever you like with them (export to a file, copy/paste from them etc)

First you should download the backup .nbu file from your phone. For that you need a phone software. I used Nokia PC Suite (my phone is Nokia Xpress Music 5800). Save the .nbu file somewhere, say desktop.

The author of this project: Android File Transfer For Linux luckily for me agreed to add WP8 support and now this is the only solution that reliable works, afaik.

Now it's able to connect my Lumia 1020 WP8.1 Denim and Kubuntu 15.04 via usb.

Alternatively to what nigel said, you may want virtualize windows in virtual machine if you have no access to the OS.In fact this is quite a useful option to run programs like microsoft office, autocad and itunes; microsoft even made windows freely downloadable.

Starting today Nokia customers in eleven countries with compatible S60 devices can download the new suite enabling access to Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Contacts and Windows Live Spaces. Starting next year, customers who purchase compatible Nokia Series 40 handsets will also have access to these popular Windows Live services.

Nokia and Microsoft are empowering the "mobile lifestyle," by providing mobile customers with easy access to their world of online relationships, information and interests. By enabling access to Windows Live services on both the Nokia S60 and Series 40 platforms using standard web services protocols our mutual customers will have the power to seamlessly move between contacts, mail, messenger, phone calls, text messaging, camera, gallery and browsing all in an integrated way.

"By taking advantage of the extensive and agile distribution network that Nokia has, we have the opportunity to bring the power of Windows Live services to Nokia devices, thus ensuring our customers can take their most important online information with them on the go," said Jari Pasanen, vice-president, Strategy and Technology, Nokia Multimedia

Nokia customers who own the Nokia N73, N76, N80 Internet Edition, N93i, and the N95 multimedia computers can get the Windows Live services via the Download! application in the following countries; Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, UK, Sweden, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Customers can visit www.nokia.com/windowslive to learn more, and check if their country is on the availability list. Initially the service will be available as a free trial and then customers in select markets wishing to continue using the service may be asked to pay a monthly fee.

"The availability of Windows Live services for Nokia's devices demonstrates our commitment to delivering great mobile experiences and extending people's online lives - taking it from the PC to the device," said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of the Online Services Business from Microsoft. "The alliance will enable a much broader group of consumers to experience the benefits Windows Live has to offer, easily connecting them to the information and people that matter most from virtually anywhere."
