Migrating contacts from HTC Cha Cha Android phone to iPhone

1) Export contacts from the device into the SD card memory in vcf file format. Unfortunately, this would be extracted into a single vcf file, so MS Outlook is unable to import directly.

2) Convert this single file into a vcf file per contact:
   a) Import the file into Windows Contacts: %userprofile%



   b) Export the contacts into vcf





3) Drag and Drop all the vcf files into the Contacts\People folder for MS Outlook 2013.

4) Export all the contacts from MS Outlook into csv file which is a very versatile format and widely supported.

5) Import the just exported file into any mail service, in my case, I have used my gmail account at http://www.gmail.com

6) Configure iPhone to contacts to synchronize with the gmail account.

7) Done! All your contacts are now within your iPhone phone application\service contacts.

Tip: Syncing Internet Explorer Favorites (Windows 7) across different machines using Dropbox

1) Goto IE Favorites folder.
2) Change Folder Location to Dropbox "Favorites" folder.
Note: Don't forget to create the new folder  "Favorites", so that the bookmark files are not moved to the root Dropbox folder.

 3) Select the just created "Favorites" folder within Dropbox.

 4) Move all files and subfolders.


Note: In case you want to sync your bookmarks with Apple Safari bookmarks, you can still use iCloud, and selecting Internet Explorer Bookmarks for syncing.

--Update 02/10/2013----
iCloud 3.0 caused the return of my deleted files.
When I uninstalled it, everything went smooth! Of course, your bookmarks are now no longer synchronized by Safari :(

Applied on :
Windows 7 Professional SP1
Internet Explorer 10.0.9
Dropbox 2.0.22
iCloud 3.0
