i used the futuredial as the 7400 moved the phone numbers but picture come out to small cannot make them fill the screen? yet anyway :fingers:

I, too, used Futuredial SnapSync to write my Outlook contacts into my MM-9000. I had to repeatedly tell SnapSync which COM port to use (it's the one marked as Serial, not Modem) and which phone model (I told it the MM-7400). Even so, I hit a major hitch: All contacts were written with a silent ringer! I had to edit every phonebook entry manually to change it back to the default ringer.

yea i forgot to say that. but it was better than putting all of it back in ? snap media works to but you cant adjust the size of the screen.and the picture are just1" by 2" ??

have not been able to get bitpim to read the 9000 have you? Maybe i am doing something wrong ,cant get datapilot to read it eaither ? right now furture is the only thing that will read it but as a 7400. Email the 3 and have not heard back from any one of them to find out when it will work :indiff:

Yes, but Sprint will only give you $50 for it:

You might get more on eBay.

I don't think bitpim currently supports the 9000.

Got my phone book transferred from my 5600 to my Mac using BitPim 08.08. Does anyone have a solution to move the phone book to a MM-9000?

This was a couple pages back, but the poster of the thread and myself have written to the sanyo 9000 using the method in this thread:

Does the Sprint store change phone books from older phones to new ones?

I know a Nextel store that does..

I called the Sprint store and they said they would be more than happy to move my phonebook from my 5300 to my 9000. (no mention of charges)
When I arrived, I handed them my phones and they said it would be about 20 minutes.
2 minutes later, the lady asked me if I bought my 9000 at that Sprint store. (No, Sprint stores are all out of the 9000. I got it at Fry's.)
"Do you have insurance on your phone?" (no)
"It will be a $15 charge since you didn't buy your phone here or have the insurance on your phone." (No thanks, I'll put some blisters on my thumb and save the $15 for Starbucks.) :irked:
