Finally, got my contacts imported from Palm Desktop. While the Droid could not read the vcf, gmail contacts imported it nicely.
For whatever reason I never saw anyone else suggest going the Palm Desktop / vcf -> google import route. Everything was centered around using csv files which had problems.
Thanks much for leading me down this path!

You can export all your contacts from Palm Desktop into Droid, w/o any 3rd party intervention.
1) In Palm Desktop go to / Contacts / "Select All"
2) Go to File / export / choose "export as vcard"
3) connect your Droid to PC / MAC , and select "Notifications" / USB.. / "Mount" on the Droid.
4) Locate your Droid microSD, (it will show up as a new drive letter), Copy your Vcard export to the Droid card.
5) open Contacts on the Droid, select "Import/Export"
6) Select Import from SD card.
For reference, 1 contact record on the Vcard is about 1k, while a book of over 600 contacts, is about a 121k vcard.
The export will carry over all your numbers, emails and addresses for each contact, as well as some notes.
Hope that helps..
