I am tired of smart phones. Can I sync my gmail contacts with a regular verizon flip phone?

Asked by mowens (8403

I have had a smartphone since before most people even knew what they were. Since 2002 I have been using a blackberry or a treo, and more recently a droid.

I am done. I am sick of the battery life, I am sick of the higher bills, I am sick of everything.

I decided the only reason I still use an android is because it backs up my texts to gmail, and it syncs my contacts with gmail.So if I should break my phone and need a new one, (happens all the time) I will be able to get the contacts easily.

I am with Verizon, and I am satisfied with the service. However, I just want an old fashond flip phone.

Is there a way to sync my contacts with gmail? I want the sync to be over the air.

If I can back my texts up, that would be awesome, but it is not a deal breaker.

Plus, I have decided that texting has ruined my love life. I dont want it to be easy to send texts.

Go to Verizon Wireless web site. Go to “your Account” set-up “back-up”. There will be a copy of your contacts on the web.

It’s not what you’re asking for, but BitPim is free software that puts your cell’s data on your desktop. May be worth a look.

I have no answer to your question, but I am interested in hearing about how texting ruined your love life.

@nikipedia That was half a joke. But, I tend to text too much inbetween dates.

@obvek So, my droid syncs my contacts to my gmail contacts. If Iadd a contact in gmail, it goes to my phone and vis versa.

Which droid phone are you using mike? Have you considered a high capacity battery?

Other than that, I’m not sure which flip phones do that. I’m not sure if any honestly. Your best bet would probably be to find a smart phone capable of that, that just has a high battery life and ignore the “smart” features performance since you wouldn’t be using it.
