Transferring Contacts from TP1 to Hero

[Jessnchar]

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!


Well, coming from Treo's to my First WinMo(TP1) then to an Android phone was one heck of a jump for me and this morning when I got my phone I was overwhelmed with what to do first and my eyes are killing from being on here for the last 6hrs reading! LOL I am just a basic user who really likes awesome apps and customizing as much as I can. Though I am a bit afraid of messing with ROM's etc... I just can't do it. Well anyhow, my first question is:

I've read the previous thread about transferring contacts via sync and Outlook. But I never had initially synched my TP1, so what type of advice would someone have for me to transfer my contacts over?

It's such a raw feeling to "have had it down" and then get thrown back in...lol

I never synched my phone to any PC. I used at one point a backup to transfer my stuff from treo over to my TP1.

Ok maybe I didn't state my problem correctly, cause I keep getting told to connect my phone when the old phone has no service, it's dead.

OK here I go:
My old phone TP1 has been disconnected and no longer has any service what so ever. I was unable to Active Sync my phone to my PC at work because the CD-ROM drive doesn't operate and I was never able to install my TP1 included disc. I do not have Outlook and I never uploaded my information to Gmail.

I need:
To transfer my contacts from the Service-less TP1. I have a USB Cable and that's about it.

I installed Active Sync from Microsoft, but i dont have office or outlook.

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.
