How can i transfer my contacts off the n900?
 
yeh just as the title says, i'm selling my n900 so i need to back up my contacts somehow? anyone know how i can do that?

ovi isn't a solution because i won't be getting another nokia.

Also does anyone know for certain how i can master reset the n900 to delete all of my personal data?

Nice Q. Cos i also tried to find the folder where the contacts are, but couldn't find it.

In Symbian, it is under : others>contacts. But here dont??!!!

Some one help.

See this website to solve all your problems.

The contact file can then be imported to any device ;)

Open Contacts, press upper bar and choose 'Export', the wizard is self-explanatory, the vCard format is universal for as far as I know, I even saw the choice between v2.1 and v3.0, so it should be allright.

In the wizard you can choose where to save the vCards.

Other modern phones should be able to import vCards :)

Someone beat me with the answer :P well.. you have your answer!

As for the reset, do a search on 'n900 hard reset', should work :)

As I remember it is not possible to save contacts on simcard , Nokia ditched the support for it in order for n900 not to be delayed .
