Transfering Nokia data to a new Nokia phone

Quite a few people have asked me about transferring data (text, contacts and files) from an old mobile to a new phone.

Whilst setting up my new Nokia phone, I noticed a back-up function within the Nokia PC Suite. This utility makes a back-up of the phone , which can be redeployed to the new Nokia. This enabled me to quickly transfer my contacts, calender and texts to my new phone.

How to do

1. Download the latest version of the Nokia PC Suite.
2. Open the download and follow the install instructions.
3. Create a connection between the PC and the phone using either a USB cable or bluetooth.
4. Select the back program and follow the instructions.
5. To deploy the back-up on the new phone, select the back-up option
6. Then select restore, then follow the instructions.

Want to upgrade your 3 Mobile phone …. It’s cheaper online

I was stunned today when visiting my local 3 Mobile store to arrange an upgrade of my mobile phone.

I checked online for the phone I wanted – the website displayed a price of €29 delivered by courier. Being keen to get hold of my new phone, I deceided to head into the local store to pick the new device up. Imagine my surprise when I was told that the same mobile on the same tarriff as I had been quoted online for €29 was going to cost me €99.

I enquried why there was such a difference, to be told that the shop had “overheads to cover”. I purchased my new phone, online, saved myself €70, and 3 Mobile will be paying the cost of the courier … madness.
