I tried last night with my Tungsten T5 and it didn't work. However, after reading the above, I suspect that all the "punctuation" in my phone numbers (e.g., (310) 555-2892) might be at fault.

Did you get it to work with your E2? I'll post if I get it working with my T5. This definitely beats sending contacts from my RAZR one by one.

The punctuation makes a difference with SprintPCS Treo 650 (probably with others as well). I noticed that certain numbers transferred, and some did not, or were truncated, e.g. 123 456-7891 transferred 123 only , and (123) 456-7891 did not transfer at all . As soon as the database got to the space delimiter in the original number, it stopped. If it got to the braket first, no transfer was effected at all. I deleted all brackets and spaces from my contacts db, and kept the dashes in. Worked like a charm.

Luckily, I had dashes inserted instead of spaces or parentheses.

I don't have my Prius yet, but I do have a question:

Has anyone tried syncing from their laptop? I have a MacBook Pro, built in bluetooth. I sync my contacts, calendar and to-dos all the time with my phone...why not with the Prius? Any ideas?

Is anyone getting phone numbers that transfer as ---------- instead of 1234567890? How do I resolve this issue?

Ok, I was sitting in my new Prius (take delivery in January) and had my Bluetooth phone with me. It is a Treo 650. I thought, what the heck, let's see if I can transfer the entire address book from my phone to the Prius. What is detailed here is a little tip that made the whole process completely painless and occurred in merely seconds.

For those who have the Treo 650, this will help you. If you have another phone maybe you can use the logic behind it to achieve the same results.

In the Prius phone area set it up to accept your address book from your phone.

On the Treo 650 run the "Contacts" application

Make sure your contacts show "All" as opposed to any other category you have created. This is important. This is from the pull down menu in Contacts.

Pull down the Application Menu (as opposed to the category menu). It should already be showing you the "Record Menu" as opposed to the Edit or Options menu.

Select "Send Category"

Like magic the entire contents of the phone book will be transferred to the Prius. It was very fast. I have a couple hundred contacts in my Treo 650 and the whole transfer took less than 5 to 10 seconds. No individual entries, no step by step one after another procedure. It just BAM went through.

The main point to remember is to have the Treo 650 send the entire category. And because you had previously selected "ALL" then everything was transferred.

I hope this helps someone. I was amazed (and thankful) that it worked.
