1. Export google contacts from gmail into vcard, copy file to n900, import contacts.
2. Search for "merge duplicate contacts" on threads and in the App manager.
I'm currently working (very slowly) on a way to sync Google contacts phone contacts, but it's still some time away.

I guess, then, my main concern is that for each contact from google voice, the different *methods* of contact (home phone, work phone, email, im, etc) all show up as seperate entries!

Since you're professed to be a Linux QT hacker, do you want to help?

Sadly, I really have to commit any free time for coding to my Thesis for my Master's Degree. I'm having a hard time budgeting time to finish the code for it, and adding another distraction would be a very bad plan.
Perhaps next summer when I'm done with my degree.....
I'm a n00b with maemo and the n900 (just bought mine), but I'm a veteran linux user and Qt developer. The Nokia/Qt relationship was the main reason I bought this phone!
Anyhow, I'm fairly frustrated with the contacts organziation on the device. Although I can see all of my google contacts from the phone application, I can only call them by initiating a google voice call.
I have 2 main questions:
1. Is it possible to make a normal phone call to someone in my google contacts list?
2. Is there any way to conglomerate my contacts so that I have one entry per name regardless of the source for the contact.
It's very annoying to have 5 entries for one person:
Santa Claus ( Google voice number for home )
Santa Claus ( Google voice number for mobile )
Santa Claus ( Google voice number for office )
Santa Claus ( Google email contact )
Santa Claus ( Maemo contact )
Perhaps there is a way to import contacts?!?
By the way, I really like idea of Maemo and the N900. Sometimes it's a bit frustrating to getting things to function right, but that's par for the course for a fairly young linux distro...
Keep up the hard work Maemo community!
