Is it possible to transfer contacts from WM to Android?

I see the sound fixed, and now I plan to use the droid OS. THANKS

I'm using Gmail through Outlook on my PC. Currently WMDC/ActiveSync keeps my Outlook Contacts and Calendar synchronized with my WM phone, and my phone gets emails from Gmail/Google.

I'd like to keep my Outlook Contacts and Calendar synchronized with Gmail/Google, so that they will in turn sync with Android on my phone. I assume that Google Sync will do this, but will it also sync Contact pictures? If not, how can I do this?

Now that I've tried looking for Google Sync for my Outlook Contacts, all I can find is one that syncs the Outlook Calendar. Could you or someone post a link to the Google Sync you used? One that will sync my PC's Outlook Contacts and contact photos with Gmail's Contacts.

I've found a few programs by other people that claim to work, but I'd like to stick with an "official" Google app, if there is one.

Just export your outlook contacts to a .csv and then import them into your gmail.

::facepalm::
Google sync for mobile devices isn't something you download. Google came up with a protocol that mimics Exchange Activesync's, so that you would be able to use push Gmail on any device that supports push sync via activesync (WinMo, iPhone, RIM, WebOS, etc). This capability is already built in!

So... if you set up activesync on winMo to use Google sync (by going into activesync on your phone and setting up the server as per the instructions here http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299), you will sync your contacts, calendar, etc with gmail (and get push gmail notifications, sweet!).
Then, when you switch over to Android, log in using the same google account, and viola! WinMo and Droid are in sync, no matter which you use!!

Can't get any simpler...
