Import and/or Sync Contacts without Outlook - Ideas?

Greetings,
I just bought my Tilt this morning and had two questions about contacts ...
1) I do not run Outlook, is there some way for me to get sync contacts on and off the phone without it? I went to install activesynch and it basically told me to unplug it that second, and install outlook, or never be able to synch contacts.
2) Ideally I would like to get my e815 contacts onto the Tilt, but I do have them in ASCII if need be. Is there any way to import them?
Thanks!

If you use Mozilla or Thunderbird, you could try Finchsync. You could import the ASCII file into Thunderbird and then set up to sync.

PIM restore to SD and restore back to new device

You could also try an OTA (over-the-air) sync like MightyPhone. You'll have to find an app that works with the SyncML standard, you can google for that.

Microsoft Live works as well for this purpose. Not as convenient though as Outlook with Active Sync but it is already installed on your device so you can start using it right away!

MSN Live and contacts

is there a way of deleting all my msn contacts from the whole contacts system
takes forever to find any one thanks to msn live sync all the contacts into me htc contact

you should have de-selected the option "copy contacts from msn to my contacts list" (sth like this) while configuring your messenger during installation.
I suggest you now use outlook, copying the contacts of the kaiser to your pc, deleting the unwanted ones from the pc (it certainly is easier with a proper keyboard and a mouse) and then sync outlook with your mobile phone (be careful you should set active sync so that it modifies the kaiser's contact list by keeping the changes you made on the pc - have a look at active sync's settings).

i found a software that can actualy do it lol its called ClearContacts
name says it all lol

Glad to hear you found a solution lad

tho i did try the way you mentioned
but vista mobile managing software wouldnt let me sync contacts into outlook
oh yea another problem does your msn live run properly?
im having a massive problem with mine

Well, it says the server is not working properly and I can't connect at the moment... dunno if that's a world-wide issue

Syncing my phone and PC via things like Google Calendar

I'm getting rid of Outlook and starting to use Sunbird with the Google Calendar extension but I'm a little confused on what I need to do from here to get everything working the way I want.
I'd like to be able to use Sunbird for my tasks and calendar and Thunderbird for my contacts. I want my PC to be able to sync all this data online (free or paid... not really important) and I'd like my phone to be able to sync all that data wirelessly. This way, If I mark a task as complete on my phone, when I log onto my computer it will show as complete as well. All of this, without needing to use ActiveSync by conntecting my phone to my PC.
So far I have Sunbird syncing with Google Calendar without any issues. I also know of a few apps for Windows Mobile that will sync the Pocket Outlook database with Google Calendar. This then, takes care of all my calendar needs.
But, what about my tasks and contacts? Google Calendar doesn't sync either of those so I'm confused on what I need to do to get all 3 things syncing.
I'm thinking maybe I need some sort of online service (other then Google Calendar) that allows the syncing of all 3 and also has an app for windows mobile.
With that said, can anyone point me in the right direction? What's the best (in your opinion) way to sync a windows based PC with some online service that also syncs with your phone wirelessly?

try oggsync

I successfully used GooSync to do that; worked fine.
Only issue is that it's a manual process from the phone.

BirdieSync, while not free seems to do the job really well. I have thunderbird with lightning calendar extension configured to sync with google calendar.

Microsoft Active Synch

I have always saved my contacts / calendar via PIMBACKUP. Just done a hard reset on my touch pro. Restored all contacts etc, everytime I hook it into active synch (which already has my contacts and calendar), it keeps copying from my phone to outlook creating duplicates.
All i want is to copy all from mobile to pc and clear outlook contacts and calendar. Was able to before click on contacts and settings and it woudl give me a option, its currently hidden.
Thanks

any help please?

[SOLVED] Sync with Microsoft Outlook?

I've downloaded LG PC Suite and was going to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook, but then I can't check the box where it says sync with Outlook. Anyone having the same problem?
It's never been a problem before, when I had the SGS or the HTC Desire HD.
Edit: It pops up with something saying that I don't have a email program that can sync with LG PC Suite. But I do have Outlook, and it's full of contacts and appointments that I need to sync.

Why don't you use the exchange sync with the email program (over wifi/data?)

I don't think he have an Exchange server - might be a local sync on his computer he needs.

No I don't have an Exchange server. I'm was thinking of just doing what I'm used to with HTC and Samsung, transfer my contacts and appointments from Outlook through PC Suite.

If i'am not mistaken than you can do the following.
First start LG PC suite
Then select the Contacts
In the left bottom corner you wil see Settings.
If you select this you can check and oncheck your outlook contacts and calendar.
hopefully this wil work

Yes, I see the checkbox, but it's not possible to click on it. And PC Suite says that I don't have a email program and that if I do have I need to connect it in standardprograms i the control panel.
Edit: By the way, I have Office Home & Business 2010. I've read something about this "click and run" option. Don't know what that is though. Maybe that's why LG PC Suite doesn't find Outlook?
Edit2: Solved! I supposed it was because the "click and run" option. I uninstalled it and then it worked

Hello VistaX, I have the same problem. PC Suite (v.4.3.17....) does not allow me to check the outlook sync option.
??? Where did you find and then uninstal the "click and run" option from ?
Was it somewhere in outlook or in PC Suite or in a phone ?
Advice, please.

I have solved my impossibility of syncing Outlook 2010 via LG PC Suite. by using MyPhomeExplorer - it is free on the Market.
LG PC Suite is forgotten - and uninstalled for ever.

There is also another, and as I think more elegant way:
sync Outlook with Google contacts and calendar.
There is a great tool available, called Gsyncit, which will do this. It costs 20$, but I think it is worth it. When configured properly, it automatically syncs Outlook with Google, wich will sync with you phone. You don't have to do anything manually anymore. You don't have to connect your phone to your PC everytime to sync your data and you can alway access your data from everywhere via browser, even if you don't have your phone by hand.
And now, I am not the programmer of this. I only think these are some of the most useful bucks, I have ever spent

You have free tools from google to sync google account and outlook.

I am using mobisynapse, it synches tasks, notes, calendar, contacts with Outlook and it works fine for me.
