export/convert Palm Contact Database to WM

I made the switch over to WM after a few years with Palm OS and though the learning curve is a bit steep things are going good. I am wondering though is there a good way to move all my contact names and #'s to my new 6800 from my Palm Desktop or from my Treo? I have been sending them over here and there via bluetooth but it is taking forever....any help?

It's been years since I've used Palm's desktop software, but I think you can export your contacts to a CSV file and then import that to Outlook and ActiveSync them over.

I would get software to sync your palm contacts with outlook. Then you can go from outlook to your mogul with no problem.

thank you for the suggestions. Any other ideas not involving outook? I am not currently using outlook but as a last resort could set it up to do this, would be easier than 1 by 1...

In Palm Desktop I can export all contacts to word or excel, does WM contact manager have the ability to import from either of these? thanks

I'd use the trial version of Outlook to do this for you. The native contact app doesn't allow for word or excel imports.
