Viewing Windows Mobile Notes (.pwi) on PC

Have you tried making notes on your Windows Mobile? It’s easy. Just pull up the Notes application and you have the option of either enter in text or use handwriting to jot down your thoughts and ideas. It’s great and all, but how do you retrieve those notes onto your PC?

Since the Notes is an ActiveSync content, you can use sync the notes by simply choosing the item using either ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (depending on your Windows version).

Once synced, you can get to the note through Microsoft Outlook. Open up Outlook and you have a few alternative to get to Notes:

  • Ctrl+5 to launch Notes section
  • On the tool bar, goto Go > Notes
  • At the bottom of the Navigation Panel you can see a few icons, one of them will be Notes (mouse-over to find it)


Now you can access the notes and make changes to it. The changes will be reflected on your Windows Mobile when synced.
