So I finally got a Samsung Focus to try out Windows Mobile Mango and though I am loving the UI etc , getting the contacts synced and working perfectly has become a real PITA since last 2 hours
1) I added my FB account and it synced like all my 700-800 friends onto the phone . Some with phone numbers / some without .
2) Before this I was using an iPhone 4 and had all my contacts synced across iCloud >> Outlook>> iPhone .
Now the first bummer was that there is no easy way out to sync outlook contacts with Windows Mobile with USB like iPhone .
3) Downloaded the Outlook connector and synced it with my Hotmail account . Added the Hotmail/live account to Focus and it started syncing all the contacts to the phone .
* Major Problem.
Its adding all my random / useless Hotmail email contacts as well along with the outlook contacts
. Cant figure out a way to sync a particular group or category of contacts
.
Also now there are probably some 2-3 copies of same person in my People list . for eg- A friend having full name Shyam Iyer is also there via FB and then there is just Shyam which I had saved in outlook . Too much confusion
* Whatsapp won't show any of my outlook /windows live imported contacts in favourites . I cant see names of any one who is sending msgs on Whatsapp
.Just phone numbers .
This is like really irritating and major screw up by MS with Windows Mobile in my opinion . Just feel like pulling my hair out
Anyone who has got simple step by step solution ?
