Yeah, you can just use the basic "Address Book" application. I think it's in Start>All Programs>Accessories

then in iTunes under your iPhone, click the "info" tab and sync contacts with Windows Address book, then down at the bottom click "Contacts" for the "replace iPhone information" thing or whatever, it's really easy and straight-forward in iTunes.

I only have windows mail on vista. Is there a quick way to transfer contacts from my current N95 into mail then onto iphone?

this sounds very easy and basic, just what i need. i just want to make sure its def going to sync over before i type in 300+ contacts. i dont have an iphone to test it out with. any easy calander method?

I tried to sync my current ppc with outlook and had zero luck. do i need out look express or regular outlook? i remember having a problem with not being able to create a partnership.

and can i buy the 3g iphone without a contract? J/K i had to throw a noobie question in there..

Thanks in advance.

do you have the nokia software install on your PC? sync your N95 to your PC then you can move the stuff over to an iPhone after

When you plug your device into your computer and open iTunes it will bring it up in the initial set-up and ask you what you want to sync with in drop down menus.
If you have already done your initial setup I believe you can specify by clicking your device and in the 2nd tab it shows the email accounts, contacts, calendars, etc that are syncing and you can specify there.
Forgive me, just going off of memory, I don't have iTunes on my main work computer.
