My wife has bougt a HTC phone on Windows Mobile. Now she would like her contacts from her old Nokia imported. Could you do that?
Well, it can indeed be done, without the use of Outlook (I was afraid of messing up my own contacts that are in sync with Outlook). Here's how.
Mind you that the PIM backup tool will ask you to map the incoming columns (from your csv) to the internal contact fields. So make sure you tidy up your data prior to restoring, using Excel or OpenOffice Calc. And keep a copy of the data open on your computer while doing the restore, so you can see which columns to map where.
Be aware that whereas Nokia calculates the displayname from the first- and lastname, WM6 does not. So while tidying up, also add a column "displayname" in which you combine first-, middle-, last- and companyname as you see fit.
Fortunately, if you make a mistake, you can easily try again by selecting the restore-option to delete all Outlook-contacts on the phone prior to restoring. It won't touch the SIM contacts, if at all present.
In my case there were contacts on the SIM, and they should be hidden. Microsoft has decided that that should be very difficult (why???) and be done through the registry. Here's how. In case you need a registry editor first (it's not included in WM6), see here for PHM Registry Editor. Choose a version for installation on the device (a .cab file, not through ActiveSync). For both our HTC's (Touch Cruise & Touch Cruise II) I use "Pocket PC 2002,2003 (ARM/PXA)". Copy the downloaded .cab to your phone and doubleclick it there. It will install itself.
