Help with adding contact info

I don't use outlook and that seems to be the only way I've found to transfer contacts to the phone. Is there a way to transfer contacts from my Palm Desktop contact list to the HTC Diamond?

You need to back them up from your Palm somehow... there's not a cable that can go straight from your Palm to your Diamond. Any way you can do that? What format are your contacts in right now?

You can try this:

Try dashwire.com, not sure if they support palm os though.

Also if you walk into your carrier's store with both phones they will do it for you.

I went into the sprint store and they transfered contacts for me but it didn't transfer well. some email addresses transfered, some didn't, none of the home addresses did. I tried to select all files on the palm desktop and export them to a folder for my htc but when I open it with windows to see the content it's just jibberish and symbols that don't make sense. what am I doing wrong?
