Memory Full problem in Nokia N73

I have an Nokia N73. I started to get this message "Memory is full, clear some memory" when checked the memory details, it had only 149kb of free space, I tried to clear all my SMS, Photos, Videos but still couldn't make some memory.
Strange Nokia N73 software does't show up where the memory has been used, about 44MB is shown as being used, but the list which the phone shows, doesn't add up to 44MB.
After spending few nights with my phone was able to resolve it. I had to remove few application which I had installed on my phone and forgot about it.
To remove application do this:
Go to Menu -> Tools -> Appl. Mgr and remove those application which are installed on Phone Memory which you do not require, this will free up your phone memory.

I was able to recover 34MB of memory, now I am able to receive SMS and add Contacts.

Cheers ;-)

There is always an better /polite way of telling that you don't like such n such thing, don't be too harsh, it hurts ;_-

Export contacts from Blackberry to Nokia

I had to transfer contacts from an Blackberry (BB) to an Nokia

I tried to copy the address book in BB to SIM card and transfer them to the Nokia, but that option is not available in BB, its only the other way from SIM to address book.

Nokia PC Suite doesn't have an option to import CSV, XLS file either.

After little bit of research on the web, got an simple solution which works :-)

As the BB contacts are synced with Outlook, I had to export the contacts to VCF file

"Export Outlook 2003 Contacts as vCards"
Microsoft does not offer an 'Export as vCard' function in Outlook 2003 (simply dragging and dropping contacts into a Desktop folder results in .msg files), there is a workaround:
Select all contacts in Outlook
Click Actions -> Forward vCard
Select all of the attached vcf files in the resulting email message and drag to a folder on your Desktop, or simply send the email to yourself.
That's it - the vcf files are ready.

Now open Nokia PC Suite, connect Nokia 6300 to the USB port
Open Phone Browser and go to Contacts
Now Copy and Paste the VCF files in earlier step to the Contacts folder.

Problem I faces is, duplicate contacts are not overwritten, one more contact is added, thus causing duplication of contacts, so deleted all contacts from Nokia phone and copied all BB contacts.

Just copy and paste works mate... ;-)
