I was a long-time (since 1994) Palm user and couldn't face making the switch to a smartphone. I researched like crazy until I found this app called B-Folders. I was able to just *import* all of my Contacts (it even put stuff into the right fields!) and my Memos (over 1,200) from Palm desktop (no re-keying). I was transferring to a Mac so it used “tab&return” instead of CSV, but it did it flawlessly. Amazing. Their nested folder system works just like Palm's categories (only you can have an unlimited number of them and can combine Contacts, Memos, and Passwords all the in the same folder if you want). It's more versatile than Palm (it has this feature of "customizable cards" to keep all sorts of stuff). I had been using an encrypted password program in addition to Palm before - now it's all in this B-Folders program which even auto-fills your passwords into the login pages you've stored. Can you tell I really like it? :) And it's all "off the cloud" secure, just like Palm. And easy backups provide a great sense of security - especially when I’ve never had to use them! :) I share your frustration with finding a decent syncing system.

The only glitch was that I had to highlight my contact list on the Zire 71 in order to export. The Gmail list then automatically updated my new galaxy nexus phone. We've come a long way!

We've done 1/2 dozen transfers without luck. I downloaded 'Import Contacts' app from Market, but it doesn't see the .csv file I loaded, it is only looking for something called vCard files. It returns an error message that no .vcf file was found. I can see all of my ‘people’ contacts from my old Palm Treo 755p, but the ‘business’ contacts never show up.

I don't think the Android contact importer app existed when I wrote this blog post a couple years ago! Thanks for adding those points!
