Hopefully you are finding this ahead of your switch to an Android phone unlike my unfortunate self.

Follow these instructions to set up a Google Sync with your Windows Mobile phone and then it will be very easy to have your contacts and calendar transfer to your new Hero on its first sync.

Or if you have active sync your contacts are saved to Outlook then on the Sd card that came with the phone, Plug the Hero up to the Pc as a Disk Drive copy and paste the Exe Htc Sync and they run the executable. It automatically sync's contacts and calendar as well.

OK, so how do you get your contacts from your WM phone to an Android phone WITHOUT:
- Giving your private information (contacts) to Google.
- Saying "oh damn! Wish I had known this before I activated the new phone!"

I DO NOT want to give my contacts' names and phone numbers to Google for whatever exploits some hacker (or marketer) may want to pull.

Want to bet how everyone is using their Android phones is being "anonymously" sent back to Google.

I dont understand the problem people are having. I use to sync my WM based phone (calendar and contacts) with outlook and now I do the same with my android phone.

On Android Setting / Data Synchronization / PC and check all that apply.
On you PC in HTC Sync click Sync Manager / Settings / Categories / Contacts and then check synchronize this category and do the same for Calendar if you want.

Is there a way to have your wife's contacts and yours synced. We both use gmail for calendar and contacts. Wondering if there is a way to synchronize them together. Thanks.
