Contacts....

[sHockz]

Ok, so I picked up my hero yesterday at best buy. When I logged into my gmail, somehow it loaded EVERY person I have emailed ever into my contact list. So I took the phone to sprint today, and had them replace my contact list with my old mogul contacts. This worked well, except I no longer have the pictures associated with the contacts. My problem, or more like fear, is that my gmail is going to reload the ridiculous list of contacts again. Is their a way to backup my contacts without losing them all?

Also, how the hell do I get the back cover off?! This is driving me nuts!! I just wanna put my SD card in....and I forgot to ask while I was at Sprint.
