Ok,
Soooo.... how DO all you Tbird users and folks migrating from Verizon get all your contacts moved over to gmail/G1?
I've looked at bunches of threads and it all seems so convoluted, mainly due to gmail contacts using a different .csv protocol (headers).
Here's what I'd like to do:
Get all the numbers from my verizon phone into gmail contacts/G1.
Get all my T-bird contacts into gmail/G1
Since I have some contacts in my verizon phone with just a number or two, and some of those same contacts in T-bird with just an email and maybe a snail mail, I'd like to merge them all correctly so that I basically just have one main addy book (gmail contacts) with ALL of whatever info I have for each contact. Oh...might as well add yahoo messenger and other IM contacts to that as well.
I do have BitPIM to assist in getting the data off my verizon phone.
From what I can tell, I'm either in for a LOT of manual entry and/or ALOT of time trying to get it all into a spreadsheet and then importing. (I have openoffice if that helps any)
Are there any tutorials you all have run across to make this transition easier? Tips, tricks, ANYTHING?? Or should I just buck up and start typing manually, one entry at a time into gmail contacts?
Thanks!
Joe
oh... yes, I've read a bunch of threads...but it still seems like there is no seamless way to easily make it happen. I'll keep searching in the meantime.
