Hi folks this guide is gonna help you in copying contacts in format to a windows mobile 6.0 without synchronizing the windows mobile to the PC .I had difficulty in synchronizing the contacts tried all different methods which were suggested by our members ,then googled lil bit and then found out a way
My issues was i had more than 500 contacts in .vcf format stored in my system ,couldn sync coz of my stupid phone settings.

1) please follow the below link and do the steps as mentioned

Importing .vcf files to windows

After goin thru the link i had ran into many issues as follows

1) I could not add the.vcf files to windows contacts as i did not have option to add/edit/import contacts toolbar in the windows contacts folder,here is what i did to get the toolbar click on organize-->properties -->customize--->customize now select the drop down menu for use this folder template as contacts and click on ok that is when the toolbar in windows contacts appears.

2) Now another issue was that i could not upload the contacts from windows contacts folder to the windows live mail coz the app which is used ( Windows live contact importer ) has a bug every time it tried to upload gives a error message saying Internet connection lost please try later ,now again i got pi$$ed off but google again came to resuce ,its a known issue in the tool there was no resolution at all ,our own member "alsiladka" had issues and he had posted the same on wakoopa.Here is the link to his post Issue on Windows live contacts importer

3) To work around this issue had remembered ^bitsandpeices PM where in he asked me to create a .csv file using outlook but it was a tedious process.But tried creating the same from Windows Contacts export menu and later logged in to mail.live.com and imported the .csv file and followed the same process mentioned in the link which i have posted the above.

Sorry for the mistakes i have made .Posted here so that it will be helpful to others. For rest of the format's all you need to do is sync them to them to windows contacts folder and follow the same process.
 
Appreciate all the effort.

However please understand this: Windows Mobile was created for tight integration with Outlook. There usability increases exponentially when used with outlook.

I have been using Windows mobile for last 2 years and am pretty sure that WM + MS Outlook is the deadly combo out there. Nothing comes pretty close to it.

yup second that, to ad further i'd say WM is even better when used with an exchange server than with your desktop outlook.

Get all the office contacts at your fingertips, todos, calendar, and ofcourse emails.
