SYNCRONISE!
ok so i decided to go with google sync - as all my contacts are in gmail.
a bit of a pain to get Mail For Exchange working
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=7ce16458872eaae3&hl=en was helpful - i set up a fake email address and then edited it to sync my contacts.
a manual sync and hurrah - who needs iSync - ok well i do - for getting photos etc. off :)
to be honest at the moment its the only way to get my contacts on without a PC or using a hacked iSync profile.
I’ve had to dig out my old eeePC netbook to prepare for software updates. The software update app on the phone says theres an update v11. but it is not available Over The Air, only via the pc software :(
