Importing contacts from Nokia Suite to Jolla smartphone

I received my Jolla smartphone yesterday. I will not write a review right now, perhaps never. Others can do that better. But if you happen have an older Nokia phone, you may be wondering about moving contacts to Jolla phone. I managed to do it without putting my precious info into any kind of a NSA sponsored cloud service and it was really quite easy.

If you plan to do the same, here is one way to proceed. I will assume that you already have your contacts synced into Nokia Suite in Windows.

• Create a new temporary folder for exported contacts.
• Switch to contacts view in Nokia Suite and select all contacts you have.
• Choose Export Contacts from the File menu and in the dialog select the folder you just created. Nokia Suite will write a .vcf file for each contact.
• For easy import to Jolla, you will want to have the data in one .vcf file. Open Command Prompt in the export folder and give command: copy *.vcf contacts.vcf
• Connect Jolla phone to your computer with USB and select the PC Connection mode in the phone.
• Copy the contacts.vcf into the Downloads folder of the phone.
• And finally do what Jolla Guide tells you to do: "Now in Settings| Apps | People: tap on "Import contacts from" and your Jolla will let you pick the vcf file you just copied over." 

For me, this was one of the first things I wanted to with Jolla and fortunately it went smoothly. Me and my Jolla are still getting to know each other. What I can currently say is that the UI is the prettiest design I've seen in my phones. More about my experiences a bit later.
