Importing from Windows Mobile
For this to be done, it's probably the best to use the freeware app http://freewareppc.com/database/pimbackup.shtml on the WinMobile device and backup all the data to a single file (with binary storage turned off) - the following subsections contain simple scripts on how to import data from the backup file to a Maemo (N900) device...
Update Dec 6, 2010 - Use latest PPCPimBackup 2.8.0.0 and the following setting: - Select contacts only - press / hit Next - Select Compress Backup - Do not select Binary backup - Other settings are ok, for your own use (keep settings, etc.)
