Transfer content from
another device
With the
Switch
application, you can transfer content,
such as contacts and calendar entries, between two
compatible Nokia devices using Bluetooth connectivity.
When using the application for the first time, you can
transfer content from a compatible Nokia device to your
Nokia N81.
The type of content that can be transferred depends on the
model of the device from which you want to transfer
content. Your device notifies you if the other device is not
compatible.
The
Switch
application can be used without the SIM card,
too. If the other device cannot be powered on without a
SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When the
Nokia N81 is switched on without a SIM card, the offline
profile is automatically activated.
