    I have exported all my contacts to a csv file to do a major cleanup. Does anyone know if I can delete all the columns I dont need? Or does the Kies require all the columns to be there for a successful import? Thanks David

    Greetings from Australia

    Two days ago my wife migrated from a Nokia E71 (good old symbian) to a Samsung S3. So now I am on a steep Android learning curve. I still have my E71 as I am waiting for Windows Phone 8. But I could be swayed with my experience in getting to know my wifes phone :-)
