Hi, first off I am new here and I wanted to just say hi and that I hope I can stick around for awhile. I searched up for a forum that talked about cell phones and boom I found this one. Reason being I wanted to share with people that I have experimented with the sony ericsson phone for a while. That being said I just got a brand new iPhone and I had a well amount of contacts. I found a way to transfer all of my contacts over to the iPhone and its quite simple.
I figured I would be a nice guy share this with all of you. And it would be a nice way to start off as being a member of this community.
Please note I'm doing this on Windows Vista but Xp should be similar
Here are the steps to easily copying your contacts from your sony ericsson to your iPhone.

Step 1. Download Sony Ericsson PC Suite (if you haven't already)
Step 2. Launch the program and under Editors click Contacts
Step 3. It should of automatically synced with your sony ericsson phone
Step 4. Start -> Run C:\Users\windows username goes here\AppData\Local\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\Sync\SyncML
Step 5. You should see Contacts.txt copy it and place it on your desktop for easy access
Step 6. rename the file extention to .vcf so the file should look like Contacts.vcf and the icon of the file should change.
Step 7. Double click the file and just keep clicking the button to add the contact in your contacts list with windows mail untill all have been completed.
Step 8. Open iTunes then click on "My iPhone under Devices
Step 9. Goto Info the click on sync with Windows Contacts.
Step 10. After sync check your iPhone and it will have all the contacts from your Sony Ericsson to your new iPhone.

I hope this was some help. I found this way out on my own. If someone comes up with an easier way please let me know.

*If this is post is in the wrong topic I'm sorry. Please move it to where it supposed to be. Thanks*
 
A little correction for this step;

Step 4 %AppData%\Local\Sony Ericsson\Sony Ericsson PC Suite\Sync\SyncML

I think that's right.

I'm also interested in converting everything from iPhone to Sony Erricsson.

Is there a way to do that?
