Hi all, I just purchased the droid phone and I integrated it with my facebook contacts, but i cant for the life of me figure out how to import all my more important previous contacts that were in my old (lost) cell phone. I can view them all from the verizon website, and I realllly don't feel like manually adding them all to my phone. Any help would be apprecitated.

@droid Gregg,
I had the same issue. Export from Back Up Assistance to a .csv file. Save to your desktop and import into GMAIL contacts. Seamless...at least for me.

Let us know how it works since I, and many of us will have the same issue.
Please give step by step instructions since I'm not sure exactly what that fix was all about.

Worked nicely, only small issue is there are a lot of doubled up contact names.
step by step; 1)log into your back up assistant on Verizon's website.
2) at the top right u have the option to "export to csv" click it. (remember where u save this)
3) open your gmail account
4) click on contacts
5) Simply import from where u saved. It will instantly sync with your droid.
