I love Nokia N9 it’s an amazing phone with one major flaw , it does not sync with Nokia Suite and has no means available that I can sync it with my Outlook or Mac Address Book to transfer my contacts. 

An unlikely help in this regard comes from Google through their Mail For Exchange settings for Gmail on mobile. Even Nokia recommends using MfE to sync contacts and calendar with Nokia N9.

Setting up Mail For Exchange for Gmail on Nokia N9 is very simply , if you haven’t setup an email account yet , you can click on the Email icon and set it up from there or you can go to Accounts Icon and choose Mail For Exchange from there.

Once in Mail For Exchange settings , enter the following information

• Your Email Address
• User Name for Gmail
• Password for Gmail

Leave Domain Blank

Now click on Manual Setup option

In Server Address enter  m.google.com 

click on Done and go to Contacts   and click other Services and click again on Mail For Exchange and on sync you will get your contacts from Gmail to your device.

To add contacts into Gmail from Outlook , you can export them as a CSV file and from a Mac it syncs with Address book .

In case you have any question do inform us in comments.
