    Is there any way to stop backup assistant from syncing TO my phone? I just got a Vortex last month and it is very annoying to have 2 copies of everyone's info in each contact.
    Here is an example of what I get because of this:

    Jenny
    Home - 867-5309
    Home - 8675309

    If there isn't any way to stop the syncing is there any way to get rid of the backup assistant?
    any way besides rooting? I might root my phone eventually.

    from you homescreen>press your menu button>select settings>applications>manage applications>sync services (w/Backup Icon)>clear data.
    Now your back up assistant is wiped clean from your phone
    next go into you contacts>press menu button>display contacts and choose what contacts you want to see ie. Gmail
