The Arrival of the Nexus One
Posted in 
I ordered the phone after seeing the post on Uptill1, I wasn’t keen on it right away but after reading the specs I decided to jump onboard to the Android platform. Also because my Sony Ericsson phone now hangs whenever it feels like and lets me access my contacts when it feels like, so its time for a change.
I really like the clean packaging of the box, you open it up and see the phone as it has been in all the blurry images. The Nexus One is a lot bigger then I expected, its just as big as the iPhone but a lot thinner which is nice, compared to the Blackberry 8900 Curve its thing but tall.
Now the process begins to transfer the contacts to Android platform, and I know you get really tied up with your Gmail account because of this. Now I have to figure out a solution to transfer 800+ contacts from my old Sony Ericsson phone to my Nexus One, I have a feeling it will not be a pleasurable experience. You would think that after all this time someone would come up with a software to transfer contacts without any mistakes that you may face, and I know that outlook process is a bit on the retarded side, it doesn’t take all the information of your contacts, if one contact has more then two to three numbers assume a few of the details will be disappearing, overall its going to be annoying. Other then that I am really looking forward to trying this phone it got a lot of good reviews, and what criticism it did get it doesn’t bother me.

Mabroook…
As a G1 owner I am certain you will enjoy Android very much!
I had the same problem transferring contacts (what are the odds that we both have SE phones before Android
). Keep in mind, I did not have 800 contacts…but what I did was install the phone software and export my contacts on an .SVF (or something similar) excel file that your Gmail Contacts can read. You have several options of how to import contacts from your Gmail Contacts page.
This isn’t flawless though, you will have some editing to do, but the end result will be very easy to manage.

Congrats on your device!!!
I recently ordered the HTC hero and i am loving the android platform. I also had an issue transferring the contacts to the phone but i had just about 192 contacts so i transfered them to the simcard and thereon to the phone. This could be your easiest route but you will have to transfer the contacts about 4 times from Sony Ericsson->sim->Nexus One.

Marzouq: check if there is a compatible “google sync” app for your SE device by heading to m.google.com on your phone. If there is you can sync your contacts to your gmail account. keep in mind that your gmail account has every person you ever emailed as a contact. I would create a folder and put all of them in there before starting.
Congrats on the phone bro, welcome to the android world. Tkasra bl 3afya
