Export Nokia 5800 contacts to Gmail on macosx

So I have an old Nokia 5800 express phone and there is no Ovi suite for macosx. There is something called Nokia multimedia transfer app but there is no option to save contacts with that. Even Ovi was butt-ugly, I do not remember if I ever tried synchronizing my contacts with Ovi suite.

Now my phone is dying on me and I wanted to transfer all the contacts online to Gmail in a hassle free manner. Thankfully, I found the youlu app in symbian store. ( http://www.youlu.com )

youlu is quick, simple and easy. I installed it via Ovi store app on my phone. The download was around ~0.84MB. The installation was smooth. Afterwards,


  • you synchronize your contacts to youlu.com website.
  • Download contacts from youlu in csv format
  • Upload csv file to gmail


problem solved. Thanks youlu :)
