This won't help anyone, but it's theraputic for me...
When I bought TP2s for my wife and I, I said "okay now that I just spent $1200 on these things, how do I get my contacts from our old Treos over to the new phone?" The Sprint guy said "there's no way to do it. I don't know, maybe with 3rd party stuff." And then he picked up a phone and my transaction was evidently done
So, I hope you figure it out, OP - if anyone can avoid re-entering all their contacts, it's a definite plus!
