Alternative way to Synchronize contact on HTC mobile

How do I import my Outlook 2007/2003 contacts and calendars into my phone without HTC Sync?

-> To import your Outlook 2007/2003 contacts into your phone without HTC Sync, follow the steps below:

  1. In Outlook
  2. Go to File > Import and Export > Export to a file > Comma Separated Values (Windows), then select the folder you want to export.
  3. Type a name for the exported file and click Next
    1. If you are using a language other than English, it is highly recommended you click Map Custom Fields to ensure that your data is matched properly.
  4. After clicking Finished, your file will have been created on your computer.  Unless you selected a different location to save it in, the file will now be in your My Documents folder in your computer.

This will create a file that Gmail can import.

-> For Contacts:

  1. Log in to Gmail. If you do not have a Gmail account, you may sign up for an account right from your phone.
  2. Click Contacts, located on the bottom of the panel on the left.
  3. Click Import in the Contact Manager.
  4. Click Browse... or Choose File and locate the CSV file just created. Unless you selected a different location to save it in, the file will now be in your My Documents folder in your computer.
  5. Select the file and click Import.

-> For Calendars:

  1. Open Google Calendar
  2. Click Add in Other calendars on the left side of the window.
  3. Click Import Calendar in Calendar settings
  4. Click Browse and select your exported file and locate the CSV file just created. Unless you selected a different location  to save it in, the file will now be in your My Documents folder in your computer.
  5. Select the file and click Import.

After this, simply log into your Gmail account from your phone and your contacts and calendars will automatically sync to your phone wirelessly.

NOTE 1: You need an internet connection (Wi-Fi, GPRS/3G, etc.) to access this service. Your operator may charge for using GPRS/3G.

NOTE 2: Gmail limits you to 3000 contacts in one CSV file at a time. If you have more than 3000 contacts, you can use multiple CSV files to complete the import.

NOTE 3: This is an import of your contacts and calendars from Outlook, and changes made on your phone and/or Gmail will not be reflected in your Outlook.  Gmail and your phone, however, will be continuously synced and changes will be reflected.
