Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

ok... this may be a long post, lol... but should answer some questions for people!!

heads up for anyone wanting to export contacts:
I just downloaded a program for wm6 called "thunderbird contacts export".
1 exe file and it only took about 2 seconds to export my 400 contacts in csv format.
I am cleaning up the list now (formatting the numbers the same) then going to upload them into my google voice contacts (which is all tied into my google account on android).
****edit****
if you want to export your contacts from wm to your google contacts DON'T use this software, haha... it is nice just for a contact list, but you will need to format A LOT to get to work properly with google contacts!
****end edit****

****2nd edit - google contacts backup****
if you are wanting to copy your contacts to your google account use this method!!
http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299
just go to activesync on your phone (this will copy your phone contacts to your google account!!)
you DO NOT need to connect your phone to your computer to do this, setup the server settings and click sync!
worked like a charm and it was 100x easier then editing the csv file.
****2nd edit end****

I know there is several facebook apps out there for android but I was wondering if anyone had any luck with them, I don't want to clutter up my phone with useless apps. I want to be able to link my facebook contacts with the ones in my address book along with view facebook statuses just like the hero does.

also... I want to be able to view the weather & time on the front screen just like the hero & my current windows mobile, I've downloaded an app that has that ability, but have no clue on how to change it and was wondering if it may of already been added??
