Transfer contacts from Nokia to iPhone

Googling and found 2 methods: Outlook Express, Yahoo.

So I first synchronized N73 >> Outlook Express >> iTunes.  Then switch within iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo because I used to copied contacts from Outlook to Yahoo in the past: i.e., to consolidate all to Yahoo.

However, just noticed later not all contacts in Yahoo were not synchronized to iTunes!  Spending time last evening

  • Mostly because defective contacts (Yahoo) had too few information.  I tried to assumed that at least there must be [1] first & [2] last names, and [3] phone# of mobile type (many of them were type “Other”).  But however it was no longer true when I fixed records until ‘K’.
  • Until it became failed (no more synchronizing) around ‘K’ and I repeated a few more times, iTunes prompted (due to >25% changing) that there were additional ~300 contacts to be added.  I was no hesitate to accept }:)

 

Still questioning

Had Yahoo data been synchronized properly with Outlook Express when I switched iTunes from Outlook Express to Yahoo?
