Hey all,
In a few days I plan on ordering a new iPhone. I was just curious if anyone could explain how contact syncing works with an XP machine (I have a macbook but it's on it's last limb, will be buying a new one this summer..don't worry :D). Will iTunes sync the windows address book contacts to my iPhone automatically? Or do I need Outlook for this to happen? Since I use Thunderbird can I just bluetooth them from my Nokia to my iPhone? Or...*gasp* have to enter them all manually?
You won’t need to re-enter all your contacts because iPhone syncs with the address book you already use on your computer — Address Book or Entourage on a Mac, or Outlook or Outlook Express on a PC. If you keep your contacts on the web using Yahoo! Address Book, iPhone can sync with them, too.

Thanks much,
Nick

I use address book to sync with my phone... Actully, this is the only time I use address book. It works just fine with iTunes (and is actually the default for it I believe)

Haha, alright...that should work fine then. And yeah...I don't use it either. It's horrid. But if it'll save me a few hours, it'll do.

Thanks

lol, Might have to get on that as well. It's been a while since I've plugged up the iPhone to iTunes actually.
