I think this link would benefit many and save all from the tedious task of entering each name and number.
Cheers!

DOC file with instructions is at beginning of thread. Haven't tried it with my Lexus, but it looks like it ought to work. As for syncing the phone with Outlook, there are lots of programs (e.g. MPT, Datapilot, etc. that can do that)

Orignally bluetooth wasnt invented so you can talk handsfree in your car while doing 90 mph down the highway.... bluetooth was invented to use a handsfree headset so your statement about not needing bluetooth cause cars didnt have it is BS....
I was using a bluetooth phone and headset 4 yrs ago with my cingular phone... if you do your research both CDMA carriers (verizon & sprint) just put out their first bluetooth compatitable phone about 1 yr ago.
Its funny you say youve worked for sprint for yrs and never heard of Cingular lol ... Cingular has been around for yrs, maybe in Kanas it was At&t but now its all Cingular and they remain to be the #1 carrier in the US.

bluetooth was not invented for phones or cars. bluetooth was invented as a shortrange wireless network for computers and peripherals. its basically irrelevant because of wifi. not as irrelevant however as the old irda ports.

Since when has sprint had a CDMA system? I was under the impression
that Verizon was the only carrier to have the CDMA.. ? Then again the last
time i looked into that was about 3 yrs ago.. Did Sprint finally upgrade??

Sprint had the very first GSM network in the US before Cingular was even a GSM company.
Trust me, I was working at Sprint when all of this happened. Doesn't exactly mean Sprint is the best....

Also now that I drive a Lexus (used to drive the Acura), I will do my best to make it known that Lexus is the most important now.

I've had Cingular, Sprint and Verizon, and I'd rate them, worst to best, in that order. Yes, Verizon has the highest prices, no 7:00 evenings or rollover minutes, heck, they even cancelled their policy of giving free calling on holidays. Their latest and greatest in phones, the Razr, was on Cingular and T-mobile a year ago. But their network, at least in the places I travel, blows the other companies away. And for me, the ability to make and receive calls anywhere, without dealing with dropped calls and incomprehensible speech, is my most important criteria.

I have Verizon and just recently purchased the Blackberry 7130e and it works fine. I haven't tried to sync the phone book, from what I understand you can only do that with a cingular plan. I used to have the Motorola V710 and that worked ok but a lot of times the bluetooth connection would say it failed. Now, as soon as I get in the car, it connects to my Blackberry 7130e right away.
