You use the iSync program for that work. Unfortunately you'll also need
to have a .mac account since iSync uses that account to store your
contacts. Exactly in what way I don't yet know. I have a Nokia 6620
phone with AT&T and iSync first installed an agent on the phone then
syncronized with it in an earlier version and saved those contacts on my
computer. I was able to restore my contacts in a matter of seconds later.
Unfortunately by the time my phone had to get reformatted the version of
iSync had been updated to use a .mac account and I haven't checked that
out yet. The earlier behavior put your contacts in your addressbook on
your computer and gathered any contacts you had on your computer and put
those into the phone too.

Hi Larry,
I have no answers but just a few more questions. Are you switching carriers?
Verizon is CDMA and I don't know of any other cell phones that are truly
accessible that support CDMA. Here in Vermont, we are quite limited ;
mountains kind of get in the way of signals.

Hi:
I'm finally getting with the times and getting a "real cell phone." I've
been with Verizon for years on a really old phone that's not all that
accessible. In any case, I'm strongly considering the Samsung Blackjack 2
with AT&T and am wondering about syncing it with the Mac. The biggest thing
would be syncing the address books/contacts and then email if possible.
(This might just work through Gmail). I'm curious if anyone on the list is
using this combination and has any thoughts or suggestions for me. Further,
if people have decided on other options for accessible phones because of
compatibility issues with the Mac please share. Feel free to comment off
list if you wish.
Thanks.
