In response to Alex's inquiry. I also had a problem with moving my contacts from my vcard file (*.vcf) where only the first entry was moved. I had a different challenge to move all of my contacts from my Palm Centro to the Rogue. I solved the problem by first exporting them from my Palm Desktop to Yahoo mail and then exporting them directly to my Rogue expansion card as individual .vcf files. Apparently Yahoo is the only online provider that does this type of conversion. Anyway the whole operation took less than ten minutes. Better than waiting in line in a Verizon store.

If you have stored your contact list in Windows Mail or Outlook Express you may follow the below steps to transfer to your new phone: * From the Windows desktop, click Start > (Programs) All Programs > Windows Mail (Outlook Express). * Click File > Import > Windows Contacts. * In Outlook Express, click File > Import > Other Address Book. * Select CSV (Comma Separated Values) then click Import. * In Outlook Express, click Text File (Comma Separated Values) then click Import. * Click Browse. * Navigate to the desired csv file then click Open. * Click Next. * Select the fields to be mapped. * Select the desired text field from the drop-down box then click OK. * Click Finish.

I've been messing around with trying to import my contacts from Gmail for the last few hours. I've been able to get each step to work but when I look at the contacts vcf file saved on the card from the phone only the first entry shows up. Anyone else have this problem or know what the solution is? Hi, good read. I’ve been messing around with trying to import my contacts from Gmail for the last few hours.

Certainly there are more sensible ways to thwart spam postings — or instructions that are a bit more thought out — or less dire consequences for not immediately understanding some geek’s cryptic engineering communications?

Something to have to do with how the software is poaded on the phone... or Verizon trying to "lock" functions so users have to pay for them.

I had a Centro and backed it up to Outlook, then from there synced to Google Calendar using the freeware Google Calendar Sync (can download multiple places; here's one http://google-calendar-sync.en.softonic.com/). Now I am looking at the freeware GCalSync which supposedly lets you sync the calendar on your mobile device with Google Calendar (see http://lifehacker.com/177036/download-of-the-day-gcalsync). My question is - does the Rogue support GCalSync? Is this a possibility? Anyone who has a Rogue already want to give it a try and let the rest of us know?
