EDIT: OP updated title to reflect he's still got his contacts in iTunes/synced somewhere.

It's a little more effort but check out ibackupbot you can open up old iTunes backups from within the program. I've used it to pull contacts, pictures, and various other things

Second that. I use Doubletwist. It's good software and your best bet if you no longer have the old iPhone.
use Samsung Kies to export Contacts from your iTune backup if did made back up for your old iphone.
Just sync your contacts via itunes with google account. Its everything you need

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

This has been bugging me since quite sometime..
Everytime i flash a new ROM on my DHD my google syncs all contacts back to my phone but everytime it asks me to sync them with FB.. And i have to manyallu sync the contacts with FB..
Its a real pain when you got over 2000 Contacts..
Is there anyway that i can let them sync automatically? Or any app which backups the contactcs as well as their FB connections..
(I just need the FB Pics synced with my phone contacts)
Sorry if this is the wrong section but don't know where to post this nor could i find any topic related to this..

I have a similar problem. With each ROM flashed I need to re-sync contacts (Facebook, Skype, etc.). I tried exporting contacts (through People app) and later importing them, hoping my initial sync would be recovered. Instead, I get duplicates. Can't Google store these connections in my Gmail account so that sync will only be done once?
Well i hve the same issue there is no work around.. i know of atleast.

Agreed. I miss sense some times. And all the options. Cookies home tab and max sense for the win lmao. What ROM are you running now?
Sent from the Bat Cave
this happens but for me the FB app usually does it automatically. FB -> Settings -> Contacts Sync -> Sync
you could try installing the htc sense fb app?
However, the FB app doesn't do all of my contacts an I think Google+ pics probably have precedence over FB ones in the default People app, not sure though.
Try facebook sync, free download on Play Store. I used it when I flashed a non-Sense Rom and it worked pretty well. Now I'm back to a Sense Rom so I don't need it anymore.
Edit: Here's the link of the one I used, but you can try other ones.

I had the issue when flashing incredible, did all the sync stuff and got duplicates and old contacts i'd deleted years ago, so i had to sms everyone to see who was who, very annoying. had quite a few "who is this" messages as old numbers were reused for new customers.
Hi, I just got a Sprint iPhone 4, moved my contacts.I want to move all my text messages from the android HTC EVO 4G to the iPhone 4. I can't seem to find a way, while there seem to be many ways to perform the iphone to android migration. If anyone can help, ill appreciate it.

Hint hint... there has to be a reason...
Joking aside, AFAIK the way to do this is to allow your contacts to be sync'd by Outlook, then iTunes will pick up your contacts and allow you to sync with your new phone.
Bu ti want to move the sms and mms to the iphone, i already did the contacts.. can you explain?
Does Google Sync support the syncing of texts from ios? Not sure right off the bat and can't research it at the moment.

Oops. My bad... the reply was intended only for the contacts part not for the SMS/MMS issue. I don't think its even possible since the way android 'stores' both is very similar to a database. Maybe the iphone has a similar set up but knowing how proprietary is everything with them I would just let it go.
Off topic...just wondering how you like the iphone?
We're comin from a pure power source.
Also, have you used SMS Backup+ on the Evo? I know it won't put your texts in the text application on the iPhone, but at least you won't lose them (you'll have them all saved in your Gmail, under the label "SMS").
Thanks guys, I have all my msg saves , no worries. I guess there isn't a way so far. I have not activated the iPhone yet , I just tether jailbreak it and playing with it, I love open source android
A program can help

Thanks cturin. My wife is making the jump from her Cappy to iPhone and is deadset on having me move her sms to the iPhone.
The software costs $20, so do you think thats a price to swallow for basically a one time use?

how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

yeh, that works.. but if your like me, i DO use facebook for some of my phone numbers
I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming

What are your steps you did? Once you download the app you don't even need to open it. As long as you are logged into Facebook (via the official Facebook app) just go to your Accounts in Settings, and press Add account, and then select UberSync. It will then automatically sign in to Facebook, and start syncing after about two minutes. I've never once clicked on the actual app in the app drawer. Give it about ten minutes, and then go to your contacts, and you will see what it did. You may have to "join" some contacts from Facebook to your own manual adds you did, but it works really well when it's all done.

There is no substitute for sync.me on the market. No other app (like ubersync) gives u that much choices and handling of your contacts
Guess we gotta wait for them to fix it . I already read on their website that the problem is from their side and they are working on it

I also WAS a Sync.me user, but I have bad news for us...
For what I read in their official facebook page (wich I can't link here 'cause I have less than 10 posts -.-') they decided to "divide" Sync.me into 2 different apps, one for sync and other for birthdays.
So they launched "Sync.me Birthdays" in the iPhone App Store and now they launched the new Sync.me app for iPhone too and they promise that an Android version will be available soon.
And here are the bad news:
