Sure they can. When I bought my first Titan, vz transferred all my contacts from my old enV phone to it with no problem.

From then on, I used vz wireless sync & that automatically backs up/restores contacts.

thanks for the info on the contacts, I called them back and said that they will transfer them for 10 bux. YES I know that kinda sucks, but hell I have about 300 on my razr, so that would mean me typing away for 3 hours, or buying MPT, so the cheapest and easiest solution is to have them transferred. THEN I will sync them to Outlook and keep a copy lol. I didn't know that since this is my first PPC phone.

Did you buy that phone from the store? If so, the $10 thing is a great big load of poopie. They are supposed to do it for free for you as a service. Now if you bought the phone from the 800 number or over the internet then they'll stick to their guns.

Oh and make sure you are going to a corporate VZW store, NOT a reseller.

Actually, that $10 is one of vz's standard charges in any of their stores.

I was able to talk them out of it, but it took a managers approval & some kind of redoing of the paperwork etc etc

if you pay the 1.99 for the wireless backup(make sure to cancel it if you dont want to keep it) it will save the contacts, then you can go to the website, copy them into excel and import into outlook, sync and you have your contacts. thats what I did when I shifted from a razor to a q since the q wasn't compatible at the time with the service.

If you have the vz unlimited data package, you can set up a free online "MY Verizon" wireless sync account. That is the safest way to BU your contacts as you aren't depending on your laptop/home or work computer etc etc etc

I recently switched from an XV6800 to a sprint TouchPro on my verizon account. One of the first things I did after activating the phone was run the setup for wireless sync. That automatically instantly put all my contacts into the new phone & I was good to go.............

There is no charge for that service as long as you set it up yourself online.

They only charge for it if you do it with a phone call or have an employee in a store set it up......

viper3two, I just had to devise a way to move my contacts from my LG dare to my TP. I used bluetooth and it worked perfectly. First you need to pair the two phones. Then on the PPC you need to set it to accept all incoming beams. Then on the Motorola, go into your contacts and press menu and select all. Then press menu again and hit send, then select via bluetooth. You Tp will start making sounds and a notification should ask you if you want to accepy. Just keep pressing "save all" and you are good.

I am running the Spring TP on VZW with TF3D enabled with 126.33 MB RAM FREE!

cornelieus2: I do have the backup assistant and was able to log into it and see my contacts from my razrv3m. However, couldn't figure out a way to get them exported out or copied, I even tried viewing the webpage source and copy/pasting. I gave up on that after trying a while. Not sure how to do this?

jmorton10: Thanks for that info! I do have the unlimited data plan but haven't looked at any of the options on line. I will check that out today!

kjhee: Hey I was on that route last night, I was able to sync both the phones via bluetooth, but wasn't sure what to do after that. I could see the folders ect on the Razr from the TP, but couldn't figure out that. Thanks for that info, I am LEARNING!!! LOL

Thanks for the help everyone

PS. I think Im in a love hate relationship with this phone LOL. Coming from a razr it is totally different and weird getting used to. Guess it will take some time. The BIG complaints that I have is that the OS seems to be a bit laggy but not too bad, and the camera is realllllllly laggy....

If this extra 64 MB exists, then it's possible that TF3D is running on that, and it wouldn't affect the program memory read that you get from the device.

Also, I could be dead wrong.

But who knows?

One thing nobody's brought up yet is that when the Sprint Touch Pros first came out, the memory readings they were getting off of the device weren't accurate at all... so I still think that, even with devices in hands, we're still in a "wait and see" mode.

I'm probably gonna snatch one of these things up when they hit B&M, and rock it out for 30 days and just see for myself if the on board memory is enough. All these conflicting numbers really aren't helping at all.

The above quote got me thinking, so I went to the hardware tab under settings>system>devicemanager. The attached screenshot shows you that the hardware indeed does have 192 MB of RAM, with 78.71 dedicated to the OS. This then leaves 113.29 available for the program memory.

It just blows me away that on this stock rom, that on top of the 78 MB the OS is using, that, upon an initial boot, another 64 MB is being utilized out of the 113 that is left. AND... the OS is also taking up 182 MB in the storage memory, reducing its availablility to 329 MB... what is going on?

I hope we can get this unlocked soon and on to cooking...
