Well, FWIW I got my contacts over from Outlook with no trouble. It's nice to have them in GPE, but unless I'm mistaken there's limited usefulness as one cannot initiate a new e-mail message directly from the contacts app. I used the free trial of this- http://vcardwizard.4team.biz/ the advantage of which was allowing me to create .vcf files 5 at a time. I then saved them to a temp folder on MMC2, and imported them one at a time into the gpe contacts. Much like Betty Woo and others, I could not get any type of batch processing to work. I tried to find the file folder where the contacts are stored, but was not able to. Format looked pretty good, just put the state ahead of the city, but not a big deal. As with the calendar, PC Suite for N800 sure would be nice...
