How to Transfer My Contacts From Outlook to a Samsung Intercept

If you manage your contacts using Outlook, the software offers an effective tool for exporting the data in preparation for a transition to a new smartphone. Because Android devices like the Samsung Intercept rely on Google for data syncing, importing this contact information -- as well as other elements like calendars and bookmarks -- is done by entering and syncing your Gmail account in the device's main settings. Once synchronization is complete, your entire contact list will populate in your Intercept's Contacts app, with any changes made to the information instantaneously updated and immediately available using any device or browser.
