Question: How do i transfer contacts from old nokia symbian phone to windows phone?

Also is there a way to sync sms from my old phone to windows phone?

Windows Phone is Nokia 710. My old Nokia Phone has bluetooth but it is refusing to connect to the new Windows Phone

Answer: 
There's a contact transfer app for Nokia Windows Phones. 

Easy route: watch the youtube video showing the contact transfer process at <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZAWXyXYbU> .

Have the micro SIM in your Nokia 710 and turn it on. You must use the micro SIM that comes with your Nokia Lumia, aka the one that was in the box.

In the application list you should find "Contact Transfer". Follow the instructions and connect the two phones via Bluetooth. Your contact will move from the old device to the new one.
While this might not be the best method, I have found it best served what I needed when transferring my iphone contacts to my Android HTC:

First, I don't have a Gmail account, and even if I had, I would not wish to mix my email addresses with my iphone address book by syncing Gmail with my iphone address book. As a result, I used the above method in order to manually export my iphone contacts to my computer and in turn import them to my new HTC phone.
