I broke my old Pearl and got a new one and there was no way to get my contacts off of it. I have them on my old computer, but dont have that computer any more. I got them emailed to my new computer and put them on windows contacts and I cant figure out how get them to my phone. Any ideas?

You dont say which program you have so this is the method for Outlook.

I believe Windows Contacts is a Vista program. Maybe.

And I don't think it is compatible with the BB. And from what I have read, it isn't part of Windows 7 either.

Windows Contacts/Address book is part of Vista. I believe it can be synced with DM, the option when checking the contacts box is Windows Mail/Address book I think (or /Contacts)
Its the only program of Vistas that will (unlike Windows Calendar for calendar events).
And yes, Windows have removed it from Windows 7, along with Windows Calendar and Windows Mail; as MS want you to use Windows Live Essentials (Mail (which is more like outlook), Messenger, Photo Gallery etc)
