It's not Yahoo go. You can sync using Desktop Manager. Click on "Synchronize" and then on the "configuration" tab. That should get you to where you want to go.

I'm pretty sure there is a Yahoo Go sync option. I have an 8830 and when I go to options and help in Yahoo Go it says it is not available for some reason.

Are you contacts on a Yahoo account? The Yahoo Go on your BB should prompt you for your Yahoo user name/pasword and do the rest. It does not sync it to the address book on the BB (same as the calendar). Rather the application shows what's on your Yahoo account.

I remember this is earlier versions (I'm using the 3.0 beta now). I quit doing it right away because it was messing up my address book.

I note in the beta 3.0 that there is no address book options in the settings. And when you compose an email using Yahoo Go, and search for your contact, Yahoo Go presents the message, "Enter 1 or more contacts in the search field and we'll search your phone address book.". So, it is using your blackberry and not your Yahoo address book. That's the way I see it, anyway.

On my Blackberry, in Yahoo to Go, it appears after I put in a letter for search, it looks in my Yahoo Contacts, not the Blackberry which does not have my Yahoo contacts yet. So the search is looking at Yahoo Contacts, not the Blackberry. I am going to try and sync using PC to see if that will bring over Yahoo Contacts to my Blackberry.

Yahoo! Go 2.0 will sync yahoo contacts with your blackberry address book. 3.0 will not allow this. I think with the upcoming release of yahoo!oneconnect they didnt add this feature on purpose. Only reason why I'm staying with 2.0
