Data entry sucks

nathanjwThe exterior LCD on my cell phone was damaged this weekend, so I've switched to the backup phone (idential model, from when Sprint sent me two replacements for a phone with dead software).
Copying the names and numbers out of the old phone and typing them into a text file wasn't too bad. Entering them back in to the new phone is much more of a pain.
(Yes, Sprint sells software to do this, but it works by synchronizing to MS Outlook, and even though I have the data cable I have neither a Windows box nor Outlook. If I thought I was going to do this much with this model it might be worth setting up and sniffing the serial port, though).
