I have a 2nd hand Galaxy S1. I used to have an iPhone 3GS and so all my contacts are synched with iTunes.

I know I can sync my contacts with Outlook to get them saved in there.

How can I get them from Outlook into my S1?

It will save me from having to put them in 1 by 1!

Thanks in advance to any suggestions.

1263201 2012-03-05 08:14:00 Thanks for that. You thinking of something like Google Sync? Will that do it? Is that the equivalent of Active Sync? ironman (6770)
1263202 2012-03-05 08:28:00 I have no idea if it'll work or not. Never used it or Active Sync. Only way is to try it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1263203 2012-03-05 19:09:00 The easiest way is to save your contacts as a vCard file (.vcf), except where this article says "Select the contact", you want to select all of them:
support.microsoft.com

Then, login to Gmail and you'll see at the top-left it says "Mail" with a down-facing arrow beside it. Click on that and choose Contacts.

Now, import your vCard file you've just created.

That's about it, all done!

Provided you've setup your Galaxy S to sync your contacts (I believe it's enabled by default when you add your first Google Account to the phone), they'll be pulled down within about 30 seconds :)
