Syncing Moto Q contacts to Outlook - Motorola Q Forum

Hey guys, I have never used OUtlook before. However, I jsut set it up so I could back all of my contact up to it. I am thinking about getting a new phone, and I want to quickly be able to transfer contacts (Switching carriers). SO, how do I transfer my contacts from my Q to my OUtlook account?

download a program called active sync
which can be found at www.windowsmobile.com

after you download and install it on your PC just hook your phone up via the USB cable and follow the prompts to set up a connection with active sync

but they are on your phone still....

and you selected 'contacts' from the options right?

Yeshey are still on my phone. On activesync, it says "Connected" then has my computer name, and then like contacts, calendar, email, tasks and favorites. SO yes, it is selected. Do i have to set up Outlook on my phone too? this is confusing...

no you dont have to set it up on your phone

create a test contact in outlook and see if it syncs to your phone
