Somehow in the setup of my Torch when switching devices from my Bold 9000, I selected to use AT&T Address Book instead of native contacts. I'm not sure how, because I specifically did a complete data backup and saw that all 970 contacts from my Bold were backed up. As a precaution I even did an export from Outlook and saved it as a CSV just in case. But I'm stuck somehow synchronizing my contacts with AT&T Address Book and its extremely slow.
I had placed a few contacts on my Favorites tab, and when I went to click on them I got an error stating they could not be found. After going into the contacts>options I saw that it was synchronizing slowly with the server.
Any quick way out of this and back to regular ol' contacts on the Blackberry? I usually let Google Synch keep them up to date and thats worked just fine in the past
I had the same problem... some contacts were stored as default and others were stored in att addybook. I did noticed on the options menu that if you scroll down while adding a new contact it will give you the option to save as default or att. It just wasn't working out for me because I like google sync (google it ask you to check the duplicate box for contacts) so I deleted att address book--- and sync with google, under default.
When you first select contacts, att addr book asks you to accept the eula? Did you? I always decline it. Go into setup and select att addr book. There should be a "stop" or "cancel" type option there.
