I searched a little, but I wasn't able to find the right thread for my question, so I decided to start a new thread... so, my apologies in advance, if there is a thread about this already started.
So... Just got the HTC Eris and transfered my contacts from my old BlackBerry to the new Eris. Everything's there, actually way more than I need (over 3970 contacts, many duplicates and such. I realize that there is the 'delete duplicates' function on Gmail's contacts page, but sync'ing of that many contacts to go back and edit the contacts that I would like to keep on the phone, has really slowed down the phone, eaten battery big-time and in 3-4 days only 501 contacts have come across. I really don't need that many and was only planning on having the people I call on a daily basis.
UGH!
So, I turned off the sync function on the phone and the phone is running a bit better, but having to scroll or search through that many contacts is a pain in the butt and takes for ever to do.
I would like to find a sync conduit (that works with my PowerBook Mac running Tiger 10.4.11) that I could sync via USB my contacts off of this phone, edit the ones to keep, re-populate (replace) the contacts. At this point I would just turn on the phone sync function(with the fewer contacts) and let them populate Gmail.
How is this possible?
Many of the suggested downloads I have seen online haven't really stated that they work with my Mac OS.
Is there a faster way to have the contacts sync'd up to gmail and maybe just edit everything up there on line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
