For what it's worth...

I just got back from the Sprint store, where they used a device to send all my contacts from my old phone to my 6700. It is a newer device that they didn't have before...some stores have it some don't...I can find out what it is actually called if needed. The Pros are that there was no typing of my 210 contacts from my old phone from a printed contact list...just a 5 min transfer. The Cons are that it erased everything I had on the 6700 already...and even more, though I had it all backed up on my PC, when Active Sync began to Sync, it just deleted all of my contacts in Outlook because I had already established a snyc relationship with my PC and 6700...which scared the crap out of me...if I hadn't set up the sync yet, it would have just synced the two lists...instead, it thought I had changed what I wanted on the phone, and was just doing it's job. The good news was that all my deleted contacts from outlook were all in my deleted items folder, so I just opened the first one, and (crtl, shift V) moved them one by one back into contacts...now I have all my contacts from all sources. Worked for me, though auto syncing/beaming bluetooth sounds cool...this was very effective. Good luck!
