Axim Outlook to Sony-Erricson T68i

[roepke]

I need to know how to transfer *all* my contacts at one time from the Axim to the Sony-Erricson T68i. The latter have washed their hands of giving information. My infrared works so that I can transfer one contact at a time, but not all 200 or so. Don't have bluetooth on the Axim.
Thanks, Bill

I can't even send one contact, how are you doing it? I turn on irda on my phone, then send the contact on the axim and it says done, but nothing happens on the phone. I think sony has some software you can use on their web page.

I will answer my own post. I don't think it can be done via the Axim. Sony Ericsson has a free program on their site Package1_1_5_1.exe which you can download and install on a desktop, laptop, etc. It won't install--at least mine didn't--on the Axim because it is not a pocket PC program. What I did was to transfer all my Microsoft Outlook from my Dell desktop which had no infrared connection to a Sony (or any other brand) of laptop which has infrared. If you don't have infrared, you can buy a connecting cable for about $34 which would probably do the job.
You then intall the Package on your laptop, it has a symbol at the top of Outlook for coordinating. Hit the infrared receivers on the Sony T68i, synchronize, answer a couple of questions about options and you are home free. I sent over 295 contacts--phone numbers only and my entire calendar to the phone.

P.S. Why someone wouldn't tell me about all this is still baffling, particularly Sony Ericsson!

open contacts on axim
select all contacts
select tools > beam contacts
sit t68i in front of axim
select connect > 3.ir port on t68i ( i choose 10 minutes)
you then have to say yes after each one is transferred to phone .... although i'm sure there is a way round that too.
