on 7/7/2009 So I just got an iPhone 3G. The Contacts are driving me crazy. I don't use MS Exchange, but I do use Outlook. I had accidently synced my outlook contacts with to my phone. I was just getting used to it when I finally made it up to the AT&T store with my old phone that had all of my contacts (no, not the same at all as my Outlook). So now it erased the Outlook contacts that were in my iPhone and replaced them with my old phone contacts.
Is there a simple way to manage these? I want to sync my Outlook contacts to my iPhone without erasing what is in there.
