Slight threadjack:  I just got an Incredible and was wondering if there was any cool Ducati related themes anyone has found out there?

Runs off to back up contacts......

I found a couple, but no, they aren't cool
Every bike I've ever owned.

it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

Also, don't pull your HTC Incredible out of your pocket, and catch your thumb on your pocket and basically toss it forward about 6ft. The screen will look like you hit it with a rock.

Do you need insurance on your phone Sir? " Nah, it's not necessary."  :D [bang]
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

i would be curious how a verizon issue could cause the loss of gmail contacts? not doubting thats what they told you.....but very much doubt that verizon employees know the difference between an ass and an elbow.

a little searching on the net leads me to the discovery that this sort of thing has been happening randomly across all smart phone brands that sync with gmail.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Maybe the Verizon employees read the same stuff on the net that you did.  :D

ok,...but its not only happening with verizon users, so how is it a verizon problem? or did they mean that it is a problem that other verizon customers are complaining about..so they are having to deal with the complaints?

in any event...sorry you lost your contacts. i can only imagine what a hassle that would be. hopefully this will help the rest of us remember to back up our important data.

They made no mention it was a Verizon only problem, only that they were starting to see it happen. Maybe it's a Gmail problem, hell I don't know.  :D

So I exported all my gmail contacts from both accounts to .csv files.

I opened them up to check them out, and all the info is there, but there's nothing listed under first name, last name etc.  All the info starts in column "AM"

Does that sound right?

is it in an exel spread sheet? double click on the vertical partition between column A and B, see if that expands it.

or you could open another gmail account and import them to it, just to test the system... ;)
