If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

As of 2.1 mine takes about 30 seconds.  Do the update.

Do you have the new 3g or the earlier generation models?  I have the 2nd generation 8gb and when I upgraded to the newer 2.0 program it took a long time, I don't know about 5 hours but...  I am going to assume you have decent internet connection and a computer with a few gigs of RAM.  What did the pop-ups tell you it is/was doing?  

+1 for if you haven't loaded up the new software... do that immediately.
Turn it off man, turn it off!  It's sucking my will to live!

I have the 3g and the first thing I did was upgrade to 2.1 so that's done.  It's still syncing contacts and it's been going at least 12 hrs.

Im sure this isn't right.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Good idea but it might be a bit short. Maybe if you wedge it in the door jamb then you can use as a doorstop that way.  [thumbsup]

uhh, it isn't.   :o  The long part of the update had to do with backing up/installing downloaded applications from the App Store.  Unless you've got several thousand contacts, syncing them shouldn't take much longer than a few seconds.  I'd disconnect your iphone and try again.  If it persists, put the iphone in recovery mode (google it, but I think it's home button + sleep button for ~5 seconds) and restore it.

Im surprised nobody mentioned 1-800-MY-IPHONE which helped some.  At least we got email working.  Turns out my version of Outlook (2000) is too old :P

Im seriously considering switching to gmail.

Oh god, I hate outlook, I haven't used that POS in years. 

If you go with gmail (or anything that doesn't support push), make sure to set it up IMAP, POP sucks.

FWIW i had 534 contacts.  I exported them to a .csv file, uploaded that to gmail contacts and it synced in seconds.
