Add my name to that fellow Palm vet list. I've been using PalmIII, PalmV, Tungsten T3, Treo 680, and now finally a Galaxy.
Can't say I'm too happy about the PIM apps, either. Creating a calendar entry (say, while talking to a friend) was a matter of 20-some seconds with Palm, but about 2 minutes on Android. Oh, Graffiti, how I miss thee!
I like to say (well I don't like it, but I find it accurate) that on a Palm you have an address book, but on any other modern smartphone you have a phone book. The implication here is that there's no way to manage personal/work/other groups, though GMail on the web has it; there's no way to view birthdays and anniversaries though GMail on the web has it, there's ... no use to stay on a dead platform while the world moves on.
But back on topic, do a search here for CSV. What I did was to make a giant CSV export from Palm Desktop, and then I spent a number of evenings getting GMail to accept the data (it will only import some of the fields it's capable of storing, I hope this will improve).
Welcome to the Android platform, and good luck.
