MM-A920 Data Transfer

So I recently bought the MM-A920 and, despite the advertisement on the
Sprint website, have yet to find anyone who has successfully
transferred their contact data from their PC to their phone. I called
Sprint, and they bumped me up to their Tier II tech support who told me
to shop around for a third party solution. I hit Samsung's website,
and they have no USB drivers for this phone (neither it nor the MM-A900
are even listed as options under their support selections). Has anyone
found a way to successfully 1) upload contact information from their PC
or 2) upload MP3s, wavs, or MIDIs to use as ring tones (I know I can
transfer the files via the TransFlash card, but you can't use them as
ringtones). Thanks in advance.

I've successfully migrated my Outlook contacts to my A900. It was
easy...once I spent a lot of time trying. :-)

Do I understand that you don't have the USB driver? I found it on the
Samsung site.

Do you have Bluetooth capability on your computer? That's the quickest and
easiest way to effect the migration. I paid $20 for a USB BT adapter. The
included software made the task trivial. I started Outlook, highlighted
all contacts I wanted to move, and exported them 'using BT.'

To migrate, you usually have to save your Outlook contacts as card files
(.vcf). There are a couple of ways to do this.
