Will the Bolt be compatible with HTC Sync? I'm not all that familiar with it, but if not, is there another way to sync with my Outlook contacts and calendar?
Damn you guys, I don't want to clean up my Gmail contacts, but I guess I might have to. I'd so much rather go to and from Outlook though.
Any word on HTC Sync? Are they making it available to all HTC Androids?
Does Google Calendar Syc sync up the Calendar, Emails, and Contacts or just the calendar?
The description tends to say that only Calendar events are sync'd (obviously I don't have an android phone yet, so I don't know). Would the HTC sync all three items?
Google Calendar Sync only syncs your calendar and events to the cloud, not your contacts.
There are ways to sync your contacts between Outlook and Android, but they are slightly more complicated. Still easy, though
I think HTC Sync syncs all three, however, but Google is your friend on this part as I can't answer with 100% confidence![]()
Could you elaborate on that export/import? I have 700 outlook contacts and 300 on Gmail and they're not synced up...I have a lot of work to do in merging them and I don't have the time right now. Is it an export from outlook to a csv then an import in the same sense?
Correct. If you know how to export your contacts from Outlook to a CSV file (a zillion links on Google if you don't know how to so this), you can then log into Gmail and select "Contacts" in the upper-left corner, then hit "More Actions" and then "Import" and choose your CSV file to upload
It's that simple![]()

Sounds like your best bet might be to resign yourself to using Google only for syncing (IOW - a backup copy of your phone contacts). This procedure is assuming, as you said, you have contacts in your existing Gmail account that you don't want to sync and you don't want to cleanup. If so, you might want to set up a brand new Gmail account with empty contacts. Export your MS Outlook Contacts into a CSV file and then import them into your new Gmail account. After that you can just keep your phone synced with your new Gmail account. I just went through this on my WinMo phone. Not bad. Afterward, it works very good. Also, you can import/export either way whenever you feel the need.I need to transfer my contacts from Outlook to my phone without using GMail. Again, I have a lot of contacts in Gmail that I don't want on my phone.
I guess that might depend on how you sync it. Care to share?Wait, I am confused. Can't I just sync my outlook acct like I do on my OG Droid?

It'll have sync...no worries. All the HTC phones have it, so I don't see why this would be any different.
I was poking around on the HTC site today...I think it was htc.com/support/www...an FAQ about HTC sync of sorts with some nice screenshots, and at the top it said the phones it supports. There were only eight or so listed...the Desire HD was there, but not the Incredible.
