Want to type in my phone contacts with my computer (NOT tiny buttons on phone)

OK so I do not use Outlook or Yahoo or any of the like type services and even if I did, it would just be email addresses and not phone numbers. I need to input all my phone contacts (about 200) into my 8330. I cannot fathom how long it is going to take using those tiny buttons on the phone itself (seeing as how my big fingers hit like 2 or 3 buttons every time I try to hit a letter while texting and I have to constantly delete and it takes forever). I dont care about adding email contacts into the phone. I want some way to type in phone numbers on the computer then sync that info into the phone's contact list. I have tried to find such a function on the desktop software, but I don't think it has anything like that. Should I just bite the bullet and start typing in contacts with the tiny buttons on the phone? WOW, what a pain, you'd think RIM woulda made this easier.

P.S. If I did go through the trouble of trying to set up some kind of Yahoo or Outlook (which aparently I'd have to pay extra for, sheesh!) account, woudl that just do email contacts or phone numbers too? (trying to figure out why on earth I'd type my friends' phone numbers into my email list?). Secondly, if I did that, would that foold my inbox with text notifications?... or my phone with email notifications? I don't want email notifications on my phone, just phone calls, texts, pix, etc.

Welcome to the forums
You have a few options available to you to make this easier. Depending on your desktop manager version and your computer's OS, you can import/sync contacts with the applications in this kb article: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14730
Google sync can also do the same, but it is not included in the list. You need a google account and have to download the google sync app.
Hope that helps.

We are all users like yourself so we would have no way of knowing any more details than you do.
Did you follow the instructions AT&T provided when they informed you the device had been approved for unlocking?

I use Plaxo for my contacts, and I want it to synch my Outlook contacts with my PC. I got a new HP PC with the (awful) Windows 8.0 operating system, and, to say the least, I miss the good old days. Plaxo customer support tells me that I can't use my iCloud contact synch because they clash.
My question: How do I disable my iCloud contact synch feature while still allowing the rest of iCloud (music, photos) to operate as usual.
What mysterious steps must I take in order to do this and not cause a complete meltdown in the process? The meltdown that I fear most is the one that happens between my ears.

Music is nothing to do with iCloud but Photostream is, so turn off Mail, Contacts and Calendars (in the iCloud Control Panel) and leave everything else on.
You will lose iCloud Calendars and Mail as well as Contacts, but you can manually re-enable mail (if you use iCloud email)

I just recently synchronized my contacts using outlook express, and I want to be able to view the phone contacts on the computer, how could I do that? I can't restore the phone then back it up on my computer because I'm on using windows XP and I cannot update my iTunes and thus I can't synchronize my phone back so I lost all my important work contacts and I'm just wondering if I can somehow access it on the computer

You would open Outlook Express on your PC...

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

Then anything you had on the phone is gone.

Set it up as a new device again.

I lost my contacts while charging my iphone with my computer. i rebooted my phone but still no contacts. how can i get me contacts back?

I lost my contacts while charging my phone with my computer. It started freezing so I unplugged it. My contacts were gone. I rebooted my phone but still no contacts. WHere did they go?

If you have a recent back up on your computer try restoring that to your phone using your computer. Plug in the phone to the computer and with itunes on right click on the phone name in left column and hten select restore

How do I sync phone contacts with (into) gmail contacts?

I'm using 3 different GMAIL accounts via my phone. Each GMAIL account (accessed via the web) has their own contact list. There are also some (many!) contacts that can only be accessed via my phone - that is, the information does not show up via web access in any of the three GMAIL accounts.
Is there a way to sync / export all phone contacts in to one particular GMAIL account?
I've tried Verizon Backup Assistant, but this did not fix the problem. I think all it did was back up (to backup assistant) about ~650 of my ~1700 contacts.
Many thanks!
Melissa

certainly, export each contact list, #1, #2, #3, then import all 3 into the one email account you select & only have that gmail account doing the sync.
ba is limited to 1000 & only does phone numbers, email must be added manually.
fwiw:
i use both with ba as the primary but anything i enter into gmail contacts, on the pc, is on the phone immediately because i only sync contacts & calendar, gmail isn't my primary email.
