This wiki is for those having trouble restoring their contacts back into 2.1 after creating a new palm profile. Just to make things short, 2.1 will not read 1.4.5’s .db3 file thereby making it impossible to restore your contacts. I would recommend you USE THIS GUIDE BEFORE YOU UPGRADE TO 2.1. This method does not restore your conversations and call history, only your contacts. Note this wiki may look a bit long, but if you have a good understanding of webos and your email provider, then this will be an easy task and can be done in under 5 minutes.

'''''Requirements'''''
* A computer with internet access.
* A gmail account (Done have one? Get one at http://www.google.com/mail )
* An email account already added into the contacts app
* Webos 1.4.5 or lower
