I did not have any notes so I don't know, but it looks like you would be able to edit that in the .csv file. My contact pictures are synced with my facebook, so I am not sure.

Here is another option called Sprite Migrate! you download a .cab on your phone, back up whats needed, and then convert on your pc - and then download to your android device. Kind of same thing...maybe easier for those that won't get a real benefit from the google sync.

Right now this is all they say they backup/convert:

• Contacts
• Call Logs
• SMS
• Bookmarks
• much more coming soon...

*sorry for those that need calendar/tasks.

sooo...I tried using activesync to google. Followed instructions specifically what google moblie sync told me and this is what happened. I tried several things, but no luck.

Honduranthunder, you have to uncheck tasks. the Google Sync will not sync tasks. After you uncheck that you can do contacts, email, and calendar (Which is what I do now) and it works fine.

I could be wrong but that won't work with Android, WMDC is the equivalent of ActiveSync for Vista and Win7

I did uncheck tasks, and it still didn't work. No worries though, I ended up unchecking everything else but contacts..and that worked. I don't really care about email, and calendar anyway..just my contacts.. gettin ready for that EVO ya know!

How do you best get the contacts, calendar, tasks, etc, from WinMo to the Evo?

I used Google Sync on my current phone (Touch Pro 2) and it imported my contacts to gmail, but it didn't do the calendar or tasks. And the contacts are all missing the catagories on gmail.

I absolutely need my contacts to have the catagories, so I need to figure that out. And I obviously need the calendar too, and would really like to get the tasks.

I don't use Outlook on my computer, so I would prefer an option that doesn't involve it. Heck, I would prefer an option that doesn't even involve the computer, just straight from the phone to gmail.

Any android vets out there have any advice on how to do this?

Heres what you do!

Ok so I active synced w/ gmail to get ready for the big changeover, and my fears came through, all my email addresses, ever email address in my address book, 400+ is now in my phone, don't really want/need these, how do I sync with google one way, just phone to gmail and then make those contacts merge with existing ones.

Is this going to be a messy project where i have to go through and vett my address book one by one or can I trim them into groups and only sync specific groups?

Begging from the tree of PPC geek wisdom please....HELP
