Re: *TUTORIAL*: Touch Pro2 > Evo 4G : Contact Switch

This is nuts.

The GMail contact importer is crap. I wanted to clean up my 200 or so contacts I had so I exported them from our accounting system into Excel, cleaned everything up and reexported as CSV with field headers.

Now this is where it gets interesting. Gmail will not import correctly - it sticks most stuff into the Notes: field on their system. Totally stupid!

So, did some searching and found this is an all too common problem. Then I used the Field headers that their system created during an export - I just changed the info contained within and it STILL screws the data up - putting most data into the Notes field.
