Ovi contacts to iPhone

Ovi contacts to iPhone

Hi,

I had a Nokia phone until lo and behold I dropped it in the toilet over the weekend, when turning up to the store to renew my contract for a new phone they sold me a Shiny new iPhone 4.

Unfortunately I don't have the phone anymore (toilet) and I didn't take a backup of the contacts, however I can see them on the Ovi software. I want to sync them to my iPhone so I don't have to copy the 300+ contacts across one at a time, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks all!

You would have to get them into a program compatible with iphone ( Outlook, address Book for example).
From there, you can sync to iphone.

If the contacts are on your SIM card ( if you have a SIM), you can import them from there.

I'm fairly sure unfortunately that the contacts were stored on the hardware of the phone.

You said: "however I can see them on the Ovi software"

If they are in whatever software this is, then you need to get it into compatible software.

If the contacts do not exist anywhere, then where were you planning on getting them from?

I am a bit confused.

Sorry.

Agreed they need to end up in a compatible software.

A search of the web doesn't retrieve much and I was wondering if someone here had some experience extracting off the Ovi platform into a compatible format.

They were stored in the hardware of the phone and on the Ovi Platform and I can't access the phone, but can see them in the Ovi Platform, somehow I need to extract them from there and into a compatible format.
