The “How to” for your iPhone


Transfer and sync iPhone contacts the easy way

So you’ve got your new iphone and you want to know how to transfer your contacts from your old phone to the new iphone 3G?

I have seen people sit on the public bus or train for an hour transferring their contacts onto the new iphone 3g. it seems like such a pain to have to transfer your contacts and numbers from your old phone to the new one manually.

Well If you’re like me that sounds like way too much effort.

Luckily I have investigated the options on how to transfer contacts to iPhone the simple, quick and easy way.

In the video below you will see you how to automatically transfer all your contact names and numbers onto your iPhone and even how to have a backup online in case you ever loose your old mobile phone or your iPhone.

The App you can download is called funambol (quite a strange name I know)

The basic idea is to visit my.funambol.com and create an account.

There after you have a few options:

1) download the java application to your old phone and sync to your online account or

2) Sync your old phone with the Windows / Mac Address book / Outlook Address book

3) Now download Funambol on your iPhone and Sync with all your contacts online.

After we have transfered the contacts I will show you in the following video how to

1) sync iPhone contacts with Outlook

2) create contact groups on the iPhone.

3) Sync pictures for your iphone contacts including any adiitional information of your friends that are on facebook, and put that information into Outlook and then on your phone.

If it all sounds complicated, don’t Worry, That is why I am finalising the video’s to put on the site which makes it extremely easy to understand and follow.
