    Hey guys

    I have a HTC Hero and have almost all of my contacts saved on my Google account.

    However before I had the internet on my phone I saved a few to the phone memory. Is there any way I can copy these to the Google contacts without manually putting them in again?

    Just sync contacts with google again. Menu - settings - accounts and sync. Just click on google and hit sync. Should work.

    I had to do this recently. This worked for me.
    Go to contacts - export contacts to sd card.
    Copy this file to pc.
    Open gmail on browser.
    Import file.

    It should prompt you to overwrite your existing gmail contacts and import the new ones.
    Once done, save and sync your phone.
    The new contacts should be downloaded to your phone as google contacts.

    At that rate it would be quicker to just create another contact in gmail of the same name and merge them.

    That was the only way I could figure out how to do it also.
    It doesn't actually take that long.
