Matt,


My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this. I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts? If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone. Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.


According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:


1. It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own. and

2. You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.


This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts. Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.

Hey Steve- thank you for the response. Yes I am waiting to get my iphone 4 as well , but wanted to research how to get my contacts over first, prior to getting it. Normally on older phones such as the Versa, the techs at Verizon could swap contacts in store. I will try downloading the backup assistant on the iphone when i get it. I do have auto updates for my Versa backup assistant so that should work to swap them over.

Thanks,

Matt
