Help gtalk contacts disappeared

[jef400dread]

I noticed that the day i bought my droid x and took it to work, my existing google talk account went haywire. I use google talk all day long at work, and every one of my on line buddies mysteriously disappeared the day I brought in my DX. No one I've told this to has mentioned any familiarity with this scenario. My gtalk account indicated that I was online but none of my (signed on) buddies were in my buddy list and all of my buddies said I appeared to be offline. I had to go back and re invite each of my buddies. What gives? I tried looking on gtalk for support but that just took me to links about people losing their contacts from gmail which is not what happened to me.
