How do i get my contacts in windows over to my lg expo

hi umlauf

If you import them into Outlook, then activesync, they will be in your phone - - as you know I am sure.  Even if you don't want to pay for outlook, you can use the free trial to do this.

But I bet you are looking to do it without outlook for some reason....

sadly, I don't know how to do this....but I am curios.  Why do you not want to use outlook/active-sync?

If you figure it out, post it here - I am interested in how you do it.

i have outlook and all of office, i just wanted to make sure that this is the way to do it so that these contacts end up in my phone book !!

I sync with my google account and it is awesome.
First you would export your contacts from outlook as a csv file, then go to http://www.google.com/contacts and sign into your google account. You can import your contacts from the csv and then sync the google contacts with your phone. Any time you add/change a contact it's synced with google. The same goes for the calendar. Plus if you make a change in the google contacts or calendar from your computer it will automatically sync to your phone.
Here's the setup info for the google sync:

Not sure I follow about it not liking first names first?

ahhhh gotcha.

I love this program. Been using it since it was in it's beta. Thanks for mentioning it Tiger. I'm sure al lot of people will find it useful.

I know it's a little dated, but you can't use the google sync for texts or anything other than email, contacts, and calendar yet. The MyPhone app WILL back them up though. You could essentially use that to backup everything, but I use google for my calendar, contacts, and email so MyPhone can detect an exchange account and not sync those items. I use the MyPhone to sync everything else like texts and my documents.
