I'll jump in again with my SyncML ideas -- if RIM had just put this in the firmware, so many people would not have problems like this. They're the only manufacturer stuck in the dark ages (in more ways than this ) with regards to SyncML.

1) export contacts from GMail in CSV
2) create http://mobical.net login, import contacts from #1

See this post here for the rest:

Once you start using SyncML, you can continue using it with every device (Nokia, Moto, Samsung, LG, etc.) without problems again. I've used all the previous named devices just fine with the same set of contacts (using a Treo is next up in my tests).

edit: cross your fingers and maybe someday Google will give us SyncML access to our contacts/calendar.
