    Ok, im a total noob at blackberrys. I have been a palm treo user for many many years and finally took the leap over to BB!

    Heres my problem/question....
    I got my contacts from outlook to sync with the BB but they wont show up in the address book. They only pop up when i start typing out a name from the main screen. Whats the deal?

    Also if need be, how do i purge all my contacts?

    Im really loving this site, and phone!!

    Thanks!!

    Check to see if a filter is on.

    In the Address Book, press the Menu button and select Filter.

    Be sure that no boxes are checked.

    Wow that totally fixed it ....Im such an ***. Thanks for the help!!

    Thank god for forums like this, it makes the transition from Palm to BB so much nicer. I must admit, the blackberry is slowing growing on me, while my treo used to slowly **** me off.

    Same here, BC. I gave up my Palm and if it wasn't for the $50 I got for turning it in I would have thrown it in the ocean. I sure do miss being able to view my calendar and contacts on my laptop, though. Have you figured that out, yet?

    I view it via outlook. Never used outlook before. Being able to view this information on screen was a big plus from switching from palm to bb. It takes a while to get used to it but I am fitting right in. Try it!!

    OK, I think I will try it. I don't have outlook, but maybe I'll download the free trial and see if I like it. Thanks for the advice!
