Migrating data from Win mobile (Omnia II) to Android (Galaxy S)

I used to rely on outlook to transfer my data from Symbian phone P1i to Omnia II a few years ago as both of them can sync nicely on Microsoft outlook. However, Android phone does not talk well with Outlook so I had to trial several ways to move my data to Android Galaxy S.

After scouring the internet, forums and trial and error, I found a simple way to migrate data from Win6.5 Omnia II to Android Galaxy S (this applies to all Win6.5 phone to Android as well)

a) Open an account at MIQ - http://miqlive.com/

b) During your registration, you will need to select your current smart phone, your phone number and etc

c) The next step is to connect your phone to the internet and point your browser to http://m.miqlive.com

d) You can start the Sync process - I synced Contact, SMS, Call history and Pictures

e) Once all data is synced, you turn off the existing Win6.5 phone and log off MIQ on your computer

d) Setup a Gmail account just for the purpose of transferring data. You can use you existing Gmail account but it can be messy as you will have both your phone and gmail contacts in you Android. So, the best is to open a new Gmail account

f) Log back into MIQ and select "Change Phone". Select your Android phone model

g) Follow the instructions on how to get the MIQ app for Android

h) Sync away !

MIQ will ask for your GMAIL account for it to sync your contact with your GMAIL contact. So just type in the GMAIL account you just setup (see step (d) above)

Have fun !
