    Hi!

     

    By following the mentioned steps, you can have your Outlook contacts to Android device.  

     

    Step 1: Export contacts from Outlook

     

    1. On your PC, go to the "Contactsof Outlook, and then click File > Options > Advanced.
    2. Click on the Export button, select "Export to a file".
    3. In the next window, select Comma Separated Values (Windows), and click Next. Select the Contacts entry from the "Select folder to export from" list
    4. Finally, name and find a location to save the exported file to, and click Finish.

     

    Step 2: Import the contacts into Gmail

     

    1. Log into your Gmail account on the PC where you exported your contacts.
    2. In the Gmail window, click the drop-down that appears when you hover over "Mail" (under the Gmail logo in the left corner), and select Contacts.
    3. Once you're in the Contacts window, "hover" the mouse over the contacts pane (left side) to reveal the entire tree and the "Import Contacts" button.
    4. After you click Import Contacts, a new window will appear. Select the Choose File button, locate the file exported from Outlook, and then click the Import button.
     

     

    Step 3: Sync your phone

     

    Now, all you have to do is run the sync on your mobile device. Each phone will handle this differently, but more than likely, all you need do is wait a moment and the device should auto-sync the new contacts. If not, you can follow these steps.

     

     

     

    1. 1. Open up Contacts

      2. Click the menu button

      3. Tap Accounts

      4. Tap your Google account

      5. Click the menu button

      6. Tap Sync Now

    That should do it. Your Outlook contacts should now be on your Android phone. Of course, if you make changes to your contacts in Outlook, those changes will not be reflected on your Android device. To see those changes, you'll have to resync.

    Thank you very much Kudo, it is indeed a solution and i really thank you very much for detailling it.

     

    Actually what i am looking for is type of interface like samsung have (KIES) so you can sync with it form Microsoft Outlook contacts/agendas to the Android.

     

    I prefer to keep my personnal contacts on my PC rather to put them on gmail or hotmail servers.

     

    Please let me know if you are aware of such an interface.

    Hi!

     

    As you asked about like an alternate of KIES, I found an app for Android. That is "DejaOffice for Android". You can visit the website: http://www.companionlink.com/dejaoffice/

     

    NOTE:- To be honest, I do not have any tested results or direct review about the product. Check it out!! Smiley Happy
