What exactly is the easiest way to make a contacts list on your computer and sync it to storm without using outlook?

[BigA]

Lotus Notes? lol....

Other than using another email client there is none that I can think of. You first need an address book of some sorts for Blackberry Desktop Manager to even read any address book on your pc or mac. Which requires an email client such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird(not sure if this works with DM) or enterprise clients such as Lotus or Groupwise.

What is it that you are having problems with.

The only other way is vcard. But you would have too create a vcard for each contact then email them to your bb. Your bb can read vcard info and import them into your address book.

Here are some online vcard generator sites. Privacy could be an issue here generating vcards online however.
