Sychronize your Nokia Contacts on Google

Its always a good thing to make backups. Some people even go to the extent of making backups of backups in case their computers crash. I don’t really recommend this; instead, you can simply backup your data online (in the cloud) to avoid hassles.

Its the same case with the data on your mobile phone – you never know when you might lose your phone or the data might get corrupted and you might lose important information like contacts, messages, etc.

This post will show you the exact steps you need to follow to merge the contacts on your Nokia phone (Series 60 3rd Edition) with your Google Account.

• Open your Contacts application
• Select ‘Synchronization > Settings’ from the ‘Options’ menu. This will open the Sync application.
• From the Options menu select ‘New sync profile’
• Choose any name you like for ‘Sync profile name’
• Select and click ‘Applications’

Note: You will see a list of all content types that your phone can synchronize; however, currently Google Sync only supports Contacts.

• Select and click ‘Contacts’
• Make sure the ‘Include in Sync’ option is set to ‘Yes’
• Define the ‘Remote Database’ option as ‘contacts’. It needs to be spelled in lower case completely or Google Sync will not work.
• Click ‘Back’ to exit this screen and save your settings
• Ensure that only Contacts have ‘Settings defined’ and all other content types say ‘Sett. not defined’
• Click ‘Back’ to exit this screen and save your settings
• Select and click ‘Connection Settings’. Enter the following values:
• Server version: 1.2
• Server ID: Google (capital ‘G’ is important)
• Data bearer: Internet
• Access point: the Internet access point for your carrier.
• Host address: https://m.google.com/syncml (make sure you enter https for a secure connection)
• Port: 443
• User name: your Google Account username, e.g. yourname@gmail.com
• Password: your Google password
• Leave other values unchanged
• Click ‘Back’ to exit this screen and save your settings
• Click ‘Back’ again to exit the Sync profile settings

Highlight the your Sync profile and select ‘Synchronize’ from the ‘Options’ menu to synchronize your contacts with Google. You’re done!
