Import Address Book contacts into a new Verizon phone
Authored by: Aeschylus on Aug 29, '08 08:02:40PM
You can synch data with LG, Samsung, Sanyo and other manufacturers phones using Verizon with Bitpim (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27137). It is a workaround for Verizon's ultra-user-friendly phone operating system.

Maybe one day Apple will enter the cell phone market and do a better job of it, you think?

I also used BitPim (latest build 1.0.6) with my new LG and was able to make CSV files of each contact, export as the older format (vcard 2.1) then import into the LG with Bitpim. It helps to have the USB cable.
And I agree that (sarcasm) Verizon and LG are the most ultra-friendly phones.

Import Address Book contacts into a new Verizon phone

The following line in the macro:
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:AddContact
should read:
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Add<SP>Contact
Also, my Add Contact screen has the first and last names combined into 1 field. If yours has this too, the macro change for this would be from:
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT ATTR=NAME:firstName CONTENT={{!COL1}}
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT ATTR=NAME:lastName CONTENT={{!COL2}}
to:
    TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT ATTR=NAME:name CONTENT={{!COL1}}
CPUnk, thanks for the code and for introducing me to iMacros - invaluable!
