    Ok. I have searched the forums and internet trying to find a how to on this wit no luck. I have google voice and the google voice app on my blackberry tour. I use it mainly for my voicemail. My problem is that my phone contacts are not in google voice so when i get a voicemail it says unknown or the text of it shows just the number. Also in the app it shows just numbers. This is pretty useless fr me since i dont know anyones number off top of head. Is there a way to import all my contacts numbers to google voice from my blackberry. I DO NOT want my google voice contacts synced to my blackberry. I added a couple people to google voice through the computer interface but not all of them are showing up in up... they are still just numbers. Preferably I would like to sync wirelessly through the app or phone.

    I hope I'm understanding you right. I thought it was pretty easy. I just used Google Sync found here OTA: Google Mobile I just installed and uploaded all my contacts at once to GV. I then just deleted the app, to conserve memory. After that the Google Voice app had all my contacts. I just wish the GV app had this integrated some how. Maybe the app would be too bloated then, not sure. Anyways, I hope this helps.

    Hmm ill give it a try. Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is I've heard some people got duplicates in the contact listing. Did you have any trouble with it?

    Yes, now that I recall. I did have some duplicates but they weren't really duplicates. It only happened on contacts with a lot of information. For example, with one of my contacts I had seven email addresses associated with that contact. I am guessing Google sync got confused on this and there for separated the emails from the contact. It was weird at first but then I realized what happened. Using the GV web interface I was able to remove and edit with ease. I had forgotten about that but yes there might be some issues with this. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

    Hmm I tried what you suggested and it worked fine. The problem is my google voice is still just showing numbers and no names associated with them in the call log. Am I missing something?
