Open up your Email app...then click on the menu section in the upperleft corner -In Preferences/Accounts you just need to ADD the Gmail account you want to sync with.

This does not sync sync from PalmPre -->gmail. It is only one way sync from gmail --> Palm. I want to have Palm contact info go into gmail contact info. How do I do it?Open up your Email app...then click on the menu section in the upperleft corner -In Preferences/Accounts you just need to ADD the Gmail account you want to sync with.

This go both ways
This doesn't seem to work for me....at least not fully.
New contacts are sent to Gmail, but my ~326 existing contacts aren't being sent to gmail's contact list.

I believe the reason you're having the problem is that the contacts you previously entered are not a part of your Google Account. To see what I mean go into the Contacts app. Choose the "Preferences and Accounts" at the top. Scroll down until you see "Accounts".
You should see entries for "Palm Profile", "Gmail" and whatever other accounts you are syncing with. Each of those accounts has discrete information/contacts associated with it and the Pre syncs accordingly. It does not mix them. So most likely your previous records were added to your "Palm Profile" account. They will only be synced with that account.
When you added the Gmail account it became the "default account" and that's why new contacts are syncing. Notice that when you add a new contact in the Pre you can specify what account you want it to be assigned to in the top right corner.
Probably your best option would be to export the existing contacts and them import them into Gmail. (If that's even possible).
Sorry I don't have the answer but at least you know why they're not showing up in Gmail.

Ya, that's precisely the solution I am looking for.....how to export them from the Palm Profile and import them into gmail contacts.
I don't think a method exists yet either.
Endersama, claims that the sync occurs both ways. [palm<---->gmail] I don't think this is the case.

couldn't you use companionlink to sync from palm pre to outlook or something and then set your default contacts account on the pre to google and sync them back?

Currently its backed up with the palm profile but im reading its not all that reliable Ya, that's precisely the solution I am looking for.....how to export them from the Palm Profile and import them into gmail contacts.

There has to be some way!This may or not be helpful, but I used Chapura to sync to outlook (under their trial) and then I exported my contacts from outlook to gmail.
