Migrating phone book from Nokia XpressMusic to Android using a Mac

12.13.2009 · Posted in Quick and dirty

Looks complicated, huh? Especially when people say there’s no real Mac-to-Android sync software.

But we’re all tekkies here, we solve stuff, and don’t complain about it ;-) And we’re using free software to do it, yummy!

All you need is PhoneDirector to get your Nokia agenda on the Mac. Just install it and follow the instructions, you should be just fine. After you get all this, export them into a .vcf file, we’ll need it in a moment.

Now, to get this info in the Android is really a piece of cake. Go to the Contacts settings in Gmail and import the .vcf file you generated with PhoneDirector. Then go to your Android phone and sync your contacts. Ta-da! Welcome to the Google world!

NB: if you’re having a hard time finding the Contacts in the Gmail app, like I did, look immediately under your labels list.

The above steps weren’t good for you? Then you might need to take a look at this.

  1. Wait, what sort of Android did you get?

    Did I mention I’m a fanboi?

  2. Right, I forgot to mention: this is how I went about synchronizing my P1i contacts with my iPhone( no.a.word! ) contact book. The best part was that I was already using Google sync on my P1i.

    Gotta love that Chocolate Factory awesomeness!

  3. well, I wanted a Hero, but because the provider has crappy 3G speed I was left with no other choice than the Magic

    which is not that bad after all, but the idea of not having a choice gives me creeps
