ok i just switched from a vzw 8330 to tmobile and got a 8900
i have the desktop manager version 4.7 installed and have tried a few times to move my contacts and it seems to move all off my other stuff from the vzw phone like browser settings, .vzw email address and a few other things
is there a way to just move contacts ?
i cant seem to figure it out
is it in sync? i cangt it to make a list in outlook express for my contacts but if i try to plop that stuff on my new phone i cant seem to get it
im sure this is easy but i just ant seem to get it
Try using Desktop Manager 4.6 instead of 4.7. 4.7 doesn't work so well with the 8900. If I were you I would make a backup of the 8330 and then restore that backup to the 8900. I did this when I moved from my 8310 to my 8900 and it worked great.
You open backup/restore, then advanced, then select "file" button over the box on the left, select the most recent back up file to populate the box, scroll down the list to contacts/address book and highlight it - I think there are two items to highlight, then click the arrow between the two boxes to move your contacts to the right box, click yes to update device. That should install just your contacts to your new device. That's from just memory, haha, so you may have to figure it out a little, but you should be able to.

Sometimes you need to register the device after upgrading an OS - if you have a good sim card, you should be able to use the manage internet option.
Register Device: Click options> click advanced options> roll down and click host routing table> press your menu key> select register now> click back and close.
And send your service books from the manage page when you get there. I'm sure you knew that, just making sure everyone reading does too.
