Hello dear Galaxus Community! I've already bought this mobile twice from other shops, but with both a Vodafone and an O2 SIM card I couldn't get 4G or any other internet reception (and I also travelled to the city). Now I don't want to surf with the mobile anyway, but my problem is that I couldn't import my contacts from the inserted microSD card on either device. I have read that Nokias only support one phone number per contact and have already tried using various scripts from GitHub to split up the vCards so that each phone number is saved as a separate phone book entry - to no avail. None of the descriptions I was able to find about this apply to the operation of my two devices. However, I noticed in YouTube videos that the devices shown/tested there also offer a slightly different user interface and more functions. I then suspected that the pre-installed operating system might be outdated. And indeed, a certain v10 is installed, while according to HMD there has been a v14 since November 2024. And here the 4G problem comes full circle again: I have not found a way to download the update and install it on the mobile phone via PC, but need an internet connection on the mobile phone to be able to perform the update. I also tried a 6210 4G once and there the operating system was a bit more modern and could recognise the contacts on the microSD and import most of them into the phone book; unfortunately 4G didn't work with it either and there was no menu item for the software update on the 6210 at all. Everything was very opaque with the versions and functions. I want digital detox, but I only have one requirement: that I don't have to enter my phone book manually. It was easy to do this 20 years ago with Apple's iSync, so it can't be that nowadays it can only be done via the SD card and not wirelessly - or in the case of the Nokia 3210, not even that.
