Can't you sync to BB desktop (Outlook) using bluetooth?

You could try using Plaxo. Haven't tried it myself but I have heard good things.

Download "Google Sync" to your bb then you contacts will be saved to your gmail...

Neither of these solutions will work if the OP's BB data plan is no longer active.

Then the OP should have wrote that he no longer has an active data plan and I would't have commented ;)

I'm just assuming (because he said he's now on an EVO), I may be wrong.

I believe crossing fingers is rooted in religious sources (possibly a shortcut for the full-body crossing oneself)

You should hang out on the forums more often.

I know you can't BBM me anymore, but SMS still works :P

Idk if this has to do with the OT or a general suggestion.

Additionally, I am wondering if through a wifi connection you could have done a google sync and then over to your new device.
