500 contacts to your phone? Doesnt that slow down your phone in some way? Maybe you cant survive with a TP2.

I am so fed up with TP2 slowness that I give up trying to do pop3 on my email.

no slowdowns at all

Doesn't Mycrosoft's myphone also work for WP7?
Well... I guess the OP still needs a way to connect to the interwebs.
OP... Are you at work/away from home and can't this wait till you get home?
I think MyPhone or Outlook or Hotmail contacts are your 3 options. The CSV is going to be a very messy process considering you have to transfer the file using Zune sooftware and such.

I'm not trying to be rude either... If I was I would have said to have a buddy with an EVO hook you up with some wifi so you can do this.

But that's not my goal here. LOL.

I ended u having to use the hotmail method because my phone could not sync with MS echange server at my office. Note that you should delete any unwanted hotmail contacts before you transfer your TP2 contacts to hotmail or your Arrive with sync ALL contacts within hotmail.

Wirelessly posted (Htc Arrive: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows Phone OS 7.0; Trident/3.1; IEMobile/7.0; HTC; T7575))

Gmail does the same thing re: unwanted contacts syncing from/for whatever reasons.

that's why u create a new account, so that u don't have to deal with that. then when u add the account with the unwanted contacts u just don't sync them.

it's a stupid hassle though. at least in android, you can choose to filter out certain contacts (either by sorted 'folder', or by contacts that have #'s)
