[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] Need to preform a new first time sync transfer of

[Joshua Davis]

I'm not in front of my Mac at the moment, but there's an option in iSync, I think called "reset all devices," which gives you a subsequent option to define your computer's contacts as a master.  I believe this effectively cleans out the other devices current contacts and does a sync "from scratch." I had some trouble with this initially with my Sidekick for some reason, some contacts and calendar data entries were duplicated.  Eventually I manually deleted the Sidekick's contacts and calendar data, and then performed the sync again in this way, and it seemed to do the trick.

One unrelated word of advice concerning Sidekick use while traveling internationally -- I just got back from traveling in Europe with the intention of using my Sidekick as a PDA only (so that I could have access to my contacts and calendar data), avoiding using it as a phone or internet device.  While on the road, I noticed my bill was higher; contacting T-Mobile customer support  I asked if the device's data collection on power-up would constitute billable "data roaming" charges, and I was given an unambiguous "no."  Called again after I got back home to the States to get to the bottom of the extra charges, and it turns out the first rep was wrong.  The Sidekick's communication with the server (such as upon power-up) to collect its "on-board" info (calendar data, notes, contacts, etc.) constitutes billable international data roaming.  So if you have to take a bunch of flights, be warned -- you'll be hit with $15.00 per megabyte every time you turn the phone back on, even if they tell you you won't.  T-Mobile was totally inflexible when I explained what I'd been told, and no refund was issued.  Caveat emptor.  I hate to abandon the Sidekick, which I love, but this was the last straw after a lot of nonsense with T-Mobile as a company.  Here's hoping Danger is eventually able to offer their device with other carriers.
