PPCGeeks - Newbie Needing Help and Info.

Hello all, so far this is a great site. I am switching from a Treo 700P to the new Mogul, good phone, but I am having issues. Please forgive me if my questions are covered else where, or sound really dumb.
First, I loaded the cd into my Vista laptop, and I believe everything loaded, now with my palm setup, I could click on an icon and open a desktop version of the phone, with all my contacts, so I can edit them, my messages and anything I need. Now does the WM^ have that? If so where do I find that.
Second: I went to my local Sprint store and had my contact list copied to my Mogul, but after either pairing my phone to the laptop, or setting up my emails, now my contacts are just all of my email contacts, and all my phone contacts are gone. Any clue?

So far thats it,
Thanks for any help.
