Using Nokia E72 (import contacts)
Mathieu Malaterre
I would like to import my contact from my previous phone onto a Noka
E72 phone. I tried wammu, but Symbian is not supported. I tried
opensync (*). But again with no luck, USB interface is empty and
segfault. I tried using the bluetooth interface but syncml-ds-tool
simply segfault:
$ syncml-ds-tool -b **:**:**:**:**:** 11 --slow-sync text/x-vcard
contacts Contacts --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"
** ERROR **: A disconnect event was received but there is no connected
transport.
aborting...
I tried sending all contacts at once from the old phone (Sony
Ericson) using built-in bluetooth, however only the first contact is
every sent to the Nokia E72.
Thanks,

How bad ;-(
That's one of the reasons I avoid storing contacts on the phone or
phone's SD card and use the SIM. While SIM memory is very limited and
contacts cannot exceed of ~250 (at least with the 128 KiB SIM card it
provides my carrier) I still can transfer the contacts from the SIM to
any smart|mobile phone without any hitch.
JFYI, I found two articles that you may find useful to make additional
tests:
Sync Nokia E72 with Linux tools
http://www.janerob.com/rob/e72-linux/e72-sync/
OBEX guide
https://libsyncml.opensync.org/wiki/obex-guide
It is always a good idea to test these sync tools with the latest
available versions form upstream (if you don't want to install them in
your system, using a LiveCD from whatever distribution and install it
from there can be an option).

I did that too. I convert the single entry 'John Doe / Mobile Phone /
Home Phone' into something like the following entries 'Doe J/Mobile
Phone' 'Doe J/Home Phone'.

Yes this is the link I sent.

Indeed that fixed the issue. I quickly hack an updated package:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libsyncml/
This now works fine. I could sync phone entries with nice looking entry name.

Well, I prefer to not use the phone at all and move the contacts from SIM-
to-phones instead from phone-to-files. Every manufacturer seems to be
happy with their own applications and I finally get installed 3 or 4
"phone suite tools" on my windows machine (as there are no linux app
suite, of course) just to manage the contacts. And those "phone suites"
are bloated apps that occupy each of them ~100 MiB of (wasted) space... I
would like to see in a near future some standard tools written in java
compatible with all phone brands and models in order to manage them :-}

Oops, sorry! I completely missed the link you sent because it was
"hidden" (grayed-out) in my newsreader (it was placed below your
signature and got messed with it O:-) )

While searching for other solutions (on linux), I found this java app:

Thanks, I alredy knew about the project.
But AFAIK, the online service (myfunambol¹) which does not require the
app client to be installed on the phone does not work with the oldest
models (i.e., Siemens A65 is not available² and I have a bunch of them
almost retired but still working and used for some of my co-workers) ;-(
