You still need outlook for active sync

i also had this problem with my TP 1 transfering to Hero. so i did it manually 1 by 1, its faster if u do it on te pc instead of the actual phone. make ur contacts google contacts. ( opened gmail on the pc > contacts > add contact > entered info > save.) and it synced in less than 10 seconds.
u can also link them to their facebook account and birthday and email add themselves.

BTW i had 97 contacts and it took me about 15 minutes

+1 on putting them in one by one if you have less than a few hundred. If activesync is not working to the PC, you are out of easy options.

Do you have a friend with a working TP? You could do PIM backup of contacts to sdcard, and after he does a backup of his own contacts, he should be able to "restore" yours (from your sdcard). set up m.google.com on activsync, and sync your contacts with google. Then he can restore his own contacts.

Good luck.

I do believe I am going to cry... LOL
I installed Active sync and then I downloaded a trial of Micro Office...well because I had been messing with the phone and I realized it was going online I tried to sync it with google and changed the settings as specified and it didn't end up working anyhow. Which is when I downloaded Office and since I had changed server to google.com/sync or something that did something so now it won't sync. I got PO'd and deleted sync from my phone server options and vice versa so that only windows pc something shows up. IDK! I have over 200 contacts with many having notes attached...ugh. I wanna kill someone. LOL. I guess I would've been done by now had I started when I first had an issue...

O.K. so, I gave in
I went to the Sprint Store and then they also failed...LOL....and I was referred to a Sprint Repair Center who after 2 attempts were able to transfer my contacts.

But I just want to thank everyone for all there suggestions, I came here first because I knew everyone would be this helpful!!! YAY!
