I've a few contact groups from my old n95 phone saved as excell .csv documents.

Would it be possible for me to get these contacts sync'd over to outlook? I don't mind if they don't sync as a group...just as long as I got the names and numbers sync'd.

Is this possible to do? I've tried to import from outlook but when I do the sync'd contacts have no names/numbers....totally blank!

Any help would be great!

Did you map each field?

The column label (row 1 of the CSV file) must match an object in the Outlook data dictionary for the fields to map across, otherwise you must do it manually

Why not just open it in excel, edit the headings, ensure there are no blank lines and then re save it as a CSV.

Should import correctly then.
