Ok, so now I have duplicate contacts of everyone in outlook cause I guess I didn't delete my old device before I sync my phone that has new ROM on it. How do I get rid of these duplicates in outlook and on phone?

The only way I know of is to delete the duplicates one at a time from one device (easier to do this on the PC) and then re-sync. Hope you don't have too many.
UGH, thx man!
Take a look at this free apps: http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp
sktools has an option of deleting all the duplicate contacts
Found a nice one over at Coolsmartphone forum...

the ODIR works perfectly for me, as already recommended by jack leung:

silly & stupid M$ and its products: WM - activesync - outlook
you will not got this stupid behavior by using Nokia PC Suite, and in addition you'll get more complete and powerful settings
(how many settings you can change in activesync?)
Duplicate Remover
Have a look at Clone Remover, it is utility to find duplicate files, mails, folders and to remove duplicate files on Windows and Vista. This program is free. duplicate outlook
Duplicate File Finder
Try this freeware Fast Duplicate File Finder by MindGems inc.
This software worked for me - dublicatefilesdeleter.com
Many users are reporting they then get duplicate contacts and I'm one of them. I've been using this Mac outlook and encountered same problem. A total headache as I have hundreds even thousand of contacts duplicated.,.you can imagine how frustrating it was. This deal breaker for me. Until I found Scrubly Duplicate Remover.I really need this for life. This is also been used by my friends and family. I'm very thankful of having this tool. I think you should also try this. Hope it helps

Where is the Contacts file on the Tilt?
I am getting an error message when my phone tries to connect to outlook. And after trying to reinstall outlook, I still cannot resolve the issue. I never use outlook, so I am tempted to ignore the problem.
But I want to add about 50 contacts to the phone and it would be a lot easier to do it on my computer. Is it possible to download the contacts file to my computer, edit it, and then replace it on the phone.
thanks

1. welcome to xda-devs
2. search & read the Wiki (it shoudl ALWAYS be the first you do before you ask a q), I've published several articles on how these databases work
in a nutshell: sync with the desktop Outlook, and do the manual work on it. rely on Outlook's syncing to do the trick
Can anyone recommend freeware to remove dupes in Outlook after Active Sync. Many thanks.
We use this at work when people get dupes. It's 'Prayerware'. Works well.
...For whatever reason I cannot upload the zip (it's only 2 MB). It's called Outlook Duplicate Remover and its made by Holy Spirit, Soutesea. Google for it and you'll find it.

I have just received my XDA Ignito from O2, I have my old SonyEriksson phone address book saved as a .wab file and want to sync this with the Ignito/Diamond.
It does come bundled with a 'trial' version of Outlook but I don't really see the point in using it if it's just a trial that will run out. Plus I don't want to install Outlook just to sync my contacts!
Are there any free progs out there I can use to do this?
My old SE and Motorola phones came bundled with software that would do everything!
Thanks in advance!

I have Outlook installed on my machine... and I hate it, always have always will! I only need it for sync'ing my contacts. When I had my wizard way back (in technology terms anyway), the answer I kept getting was NO you can't sync with anything else.
The problem I am having with my contacts (and I have yet to find an answer for it) is that the Diamond/Ignito shows both my sim contacts and the phone contacts. The two lists are the same so when I go into 'all people' everyone is listed twice!
Any ideas anyone?
Matt
I'm till struggling with this. All I find is annoying 'trial' editions of programs that calim various things. When I left Outlook Express behind I assumed I was doing the right thing exporting to a wab file to back it up!
I've even installed OutlookXP now from an old office CD, but it can't import WAB files!! Can the version on the bundled CD?
There must be another way of getting a wab address book onto the Diamond?
Hi all,
Is there a way to sync 2 phones ( my tytn 2 and my girfriends Nokia E71 ) with windows (vista) ..... WITHOUT ...... sharing the contacts on eachothers phone ???
I don't want my girls 100+ contacts in my phone .... and she doesn't want mine. We both would like our contacts in outlook 2007 though.
Any suggestion ( divorse is not a vallid option )
create 2 different users on vista or buy a new computer
Yeah, I think it's just a matter of setting up a second Vista user account. If you have two people using a computer, having multiple accounts is really darn useful from a practical standpoint.
Edit: rereading your question, I'm wondering if you DO want your girlfriend's contacts available in Outlook, just not on your phone. That might be trickier. I think you could do it using exclusions of some sort in Outlook, but I've never tried and couldn't talk you through it.
Hi thx for the replies,
We like to share the outlook agenda .... just not the contacts. Will be difficult i supose. I hoped there was somsort of software that could arange this.
I will try playing with accounts instead but its not the solution i like
If you want to share events in a calender perhaps make a google/other ical calender and add that to both your seperate user accnts on vista
My setup is:
work laptop, xp / outlook 2007
home vista / outlook 2007
work phone: nokia E71
enjoying: my tilt
The thing is, I recently started flashing, oh yes
I used pimbackup, myphone, and even googlesync, to have all of my data (contacts and calendar) available in all of the above mentioned devices, and failed miserably.
Deletions, duplicates, you name it, I had it...
I started reading, I mean really reading the forum, and I'm still doing it, but so far no luck.
Does anyone has an idea what would be the smartest way to ensure all of my data safe and synced in all of the above mentioned devices?
Or, please overlook my noobness, and just point me in the direction of the right thread?
TIA

anybody outhere?
what I would do is this. DELETE all your contacts from your phone and your Outlook contacts. Then delete all your SMS. Hide your SIM contacts. Then use Pim Backup. Then after it restores everything you will have one copy. Then resync with your comp and store all the new info to your comp. Ideally PIM Backup is best used only for storing SMS, let active sync do the rest. Just in case let pim backup store all your contacts, but when restoring only select to restore SMS so you dont have duplicate contacts.
thank you, I'll give it a try.
