Yeah, not in the biggest hurry, if I get a good answer tonight or tomorrow that's cool. I just assumed I was doing something wrong since I'm a newbie and the answer would be simple and I would be doing an impression of Homer Simpson "D'oh!" LOL I was thinking it could be as simple as doing another factory data reset now that gmail has the complete list, but I don't want to do anything yet until I feel safe that my gmail won't get wiped out too. What really bothered me was that Verizon's backup assistant never downloaded the existing list either, it only backed up new contacts I had added since I bought the Droid. For some reason, neither the sync with gmail or the backup assistant wanted to recognize the existing list from my BlackBerry.
