Default Phonebook Contacts Transfer Question

Hi,

I have a cingular razr and wife uses the verizon pocket pc phone, what is the best way to transfer contacts in the phonebook, when I try through the pocket pc the number transfer but only the first 3 digits get transferred. When try from Razr can transfer only one name as cant seem to find a way to select all, than it seems cant transfer more after one is done, am I correct?

any suggestions.

I was told by the dealer that the Motorola phones were only able to transfer a single number at a time, not in bulk.

just allows one to be transffered and than just have link issues. Wonder if was an easier way to get it transfered using outlook or another phone.

Yes, according to some folks on the Priuschat forum, that's the trick. Sync the phone with Outlook Express, and then use MPT (mobile phone tools) on a bluetooth equipped laptop to push them to the car.

I was going to try it, but ended up re-entering my phonebook on the car's touchscreen LCD instead. (This was when the car was brand new, and I was so enjoying breathing in that new-car smell that I didn't want to leave. )
