I have indeed been paid by ronniebrasco (thanks!). Thanks to him, you all have a tool that will allow you to transfer your contacts from your WebOS phone to your PC.
[edit: I'm sorry, but I no longer have the time to maintain and support this tool. It's gotten 300 downloads, yet I've gotten zero donations beyond the initial two people. I've had a number of requests for help on getting the tool to work, having to explain how to copy the PalmDatabase.db3 file, resolving SQL errors due to corrupt files, etc. I cannot justify spending the time and effort on a tool that is given away for free.] Last edited by xybyre; 11/24/2009 at 11:57 PM. |

2. I don't have any linked contacts, so if you can explain how the records are linked, I can add support for it. I may just add an option to include the ids. 3. I'll add these extra columns when I get a chance |

2. From what I can tell, each set of linked contacts has the same "com_palm_pim_Person_id" in the com_palm_pim_Contacts table (which is also the same as the "id" in the "com_palm_pim_Person" table). So, while each Contact in the com_palm_pim_Contacts table has it's own unique "id" within that table, you can determine where you have linked contacts based on the "person_id" 3. Sweet! Also, if you can send me your paypal ID, i would be more than happy to add my small reward to the $100. a promise is a promise! |

That information wont be useful when transfering to another palm. Because Palm makes new ID's for syngerized contacts upon entry.
In addition other phones won't merge those contacts by those id's neither. Only by same names and common numbers. |

Right...but this would help me to identify where I did have linked contacts. When I had to get a replacement Pre, I had to relink a whole bunch of contacts. So, while the actual ID number isn't important, being able to see which contacts have the same ID (and were therefore linked) provides a lot of helpful info!

ideally, I would be able to see the Person name of "Jonathan Smith Jr" on all3 lines in excel,with the "Contact " name being the 3 individual contact names.. Does that make sense? I can send you an excel example if that would be helpful |

Version 1.3 of my tool adds the requested extra columns. As a bonus, the file is even sorted by person_id, making it easy to see which records are linked. You can download the latest version here.

You can install Internalz from here. Once you have that installed, you can run it and copy /var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3 to /media/internal. Then you can see it from usb mode.
