I just figured how to transfer a new contact from my old cell phone contacts list to my new one.
I spent about an hour last night trying to transfer all the other contacts (I had done this before by accident, but while doing so had unintentionally doubled up on all the contacts on my old phone. I went back to erase the duplicate entries from my old phone -- only to find I had unintentionally erased ALL the contacts from my new phone as well). So late last night I started all over again. I followed the instructions on the website but they didn't work and I couldn't remember how I did it the first time, so I just tried different steps until finally all the names and numbers appeared on the new phone contacts list.
It's funny how my 3 Google gadgets sync some things for themselves, by themselves, but won't sync other things I try to get them to!
