Re: Don't do what I did!
Sorry about that.
Note: any Import of Contacts to the phone will also remove previously selected Speed Dial settings and well as remove Group Selections.
If you are importing from the SD Card into the phone, the phone contact list should be empty or there will be duplications.
I have my Phone Contacts Backed-up to the Verizon BackUp Assistant using a daily sync schedule.
I also have my Phone Contacts Exported to my SD Card which will be used as needed (maybe in case of a Hard Reset). I manually re-do that Export as needed.
I also have the Phone Contacts backed-up to the Computer's Outlook Contacts using HTC Sync "Repair" selection of removing all Contacts from Outlook and exporting phone contacts to Outlook. I do not go from Computer Outlook to Phone.
I do Calendar the same way for Outlook.
I make all my corrections and entries on the Phone.
Works for me.
Thanks for sharing.

Knowledge is power
Folks, I AM NOT the original author of this post which mainly references to cable internet. However I ask that everyone bear an open mind and read it thoroughly. I was scouring the internet to convey my thoughts and feelings about this matter to this site as clearly as possible and this is the best I have found which IMHO holds true to wireless as well.
"Its refreshing to see, at last, an article about capping and overcharging which doesn’t start with the phrase “As we move forward toward a fair form of consumption-based charging…â€Â, etc.
There IS NO fair form of consumption-based charging for bandwidth! Unlike processed water, gas, and electricity, bandwidth is not generated by backbone providers or ISPs, nor is it something consumed in the process of transmitting it. With the fiber and copper infrastructure paid for long ago, there is no expense other than maintaining the existing equipment – which hardly varies, whether the networks are idle, or fully saturated. The small difference is mostly due to the likelihood of more service incidents when there are more individual customers on a given network. So many people simply do not understand this, because they’re trained by traditional utilities to think of their bills in terms of what they really have consumed.
The only fair form of bandwidth billing should be by provisioned_speed x billing_period. And if the ISP is not capable or willing to reliably provide the provisioned speed, customers can downgrade to a cheaper tier and thus avoid unjustly enriching their provider.
These networks should have been upgraded long ago to reflect the needs of the customers, and the times, but instead the telcos choose to keep their profits and publicize a false “shortage†to provide them with a pretense for raising prices. It’s absolutely outrageous that they try to play the victim here. This is an EMBARGO.
There is NO SUCH THING as a “bandwidth hogâ€Â. Customers with “unlimited bandwidth†service are provisioned with an “up to†maximum speed throughout the course of the 1-month billing period. Noone has ever actually obtained the full bandwidth possible to them. Additionally, the ISPs place too many customers on each segment to carry that much bandwidth to each of them, but that’s not the fault of the customers.
Note that I’m not arguing that ISPs don’t get *billed* by their upstream providers for bandwidth. Usually, the bill is static, and provides for pretty much “unlimited consumption†as long as upload/download ratios remain even, and the downstream ISP doesn’t frequently use much more than their provider has reserved for them. However, these bandwidth rates are the result of a cartel, and not an open market.
Small ISPs aren’t talking about the same kind of bandwidth expenses as top-tier backhaul providers (and major ISPs who are their own fiber/backhaul moguls). Small ISPs are collaborators with the cap-and-overbill camp because they have no choice. Top-tier backhaul providers do not suffer any sort of expense for each gigabyte they convey, although they do keep track for billing purposes. Like the small ISPs, they make money via “billable eventsâ€Â. Their profits are not tied to the quality NOR quantity of service they provide. Their profits are simply tied to the arbitrary terms of their contracts. If the big ISPs and telcos are raising their rates, then the little ISPs have an opportunity to “regretfully†send out emails announcing a raise in rates. “Business realities†and all that jazz.
It’s impossible for telcos to establish why they deserve to be paid according to what their network is used for. An analogy of “consumption-based billing†for bandwidth is where a telco charges phone rates according to how many words are spoken or received by the parties on the line. They don’t care how long the call is, just how many words. And, just to be “fairâ€Â, they have a higher rate for customers who speak rapid languages such as Spanish. To do this, they have agents who monitor the lines to determine what sort of conversations are taking place. Did you conduct a profitable transaction over the phone? Fork over a percentage to the telco; we can’t have you cheating them, right?"

Told you.
I've been using Xtreme Labs Speedtest measuring my iPhone's performance throughout the country on AT&T's network. I've also been using a few web sites to monitor the speed of Sprint's 3G Network.
Also of note:
Sprint's 3G Network is about 1/3rd of the speed of AT&T's. My average on Sprint is 700kbps, my average on AT&T is 2058 kbps. Very rarely do I even break 900kbps on Sprint.
Sprint's WiMax Network isn't significantly faster than T-Mobile and AT&T's 3G Network. - Right now with decent signal from AT&T on the slower 3.2mbps network I beat 4 of the WiMax scores on Sprint's network.
WiMax coverage isn't nearly as solid as HSDPA - Just because an area is "covered" doesn't mean you get a usable signal. For example, I've used Sprint's WiMax network in Charlotte, NC, and found obtaining a signal to be an ordeal inside, where AT&T and Sprint's 3G penetrated with no issues. I couldn't even crack 1mbps download on Sprint's 4G Network.

On another note... Gotta love how Apple gets all the glory, and AT&T gets all the blame.
5% dropped calls? Must suck to be them, because I don't think I've ever dropped a call personally.
Also very surprised with satisfaction and dropped call rate for Sprint. Very nice selling point.
