When moving copying contacts from any device to another device; if you have a lot of fields filled in like home address, work address, home/work web addresses, birth dates, etc... It is a very good idea to check them on the new device to ensure that all fields got copied. This is true when going from a Nokia phone to some type of other device including a computer. I've found some times that Home numbers aren't copied if you also have an work number. Only the work number gets copied and the home number is ignored. Also on the new device if you have more than one number! You want to check to make sure the field type of information is also on the new phone. I found sometimes the non Nokia devices will just call everything Mobile. Then you have to go and change things to put it rite. This is dependent on how things are copied to the other device.
I'm not saying you had this issue; I'm saying you need to check things like that to make sure all your data was copied. But with 1,500 contacts, you probably want to check any contacts that have more than just 1 number entered. Ones that have more data it is important to me to make sure I have all of it on a new device and or my computer be it another Nokia or whatever. To me in looking at the VCF files that the Nokia phone produces; It places the work type of numbers before the home type of numbers then when they get imported lets say on my computer; It finds the work stuff first uses it and ignores the home stuff. If I change the VCF file to move the home numbers up above the work numbers; than try to import the VCF file it works like it should and all the numbers are there. So again when going to a new device no matter what it is; always verify your information on more complex contact entries to ensure all your data is there and is labled correctly. You don't want to find it some of it is miss labled and or just missing after you may have gotten rid of the old device. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone.

I solved the problem by going to the Optus store. The manager of the store simply connected my n86 and the IPhone5 to a special computer that they have setup and transferred approx. 1500 contacts for me. It took her around 20-25 mins to do the transfer.
