So I recently just got the Samsung Continuum and am still figuring things out. I had them transfer over my Contact list to the new phone but I guess there's a difference between your contacts being part of your PHONE BOOK and your GMAIL CONTACTS (even though they all still show up in your contacts list). Since I couldn't put most of my contacts into groups via my phone, I have them situated online via g-mail.
Q: How do I get the contacts (with the groups) synced onto my cell without having to delete the contact and then remaking it but in the PHONE BOOK option?
Q: do I have to buy a separate memory card for the phone or should there be one in the Continuum already? (if that's a even a possible issue)
I tried connecting it through to my Macbook Pro, and went through the Debugging, docking, etc process but my comp still doesn't want to read my cell as a possible reader.. Thoughts?

I thought the phone came with an SD card. At least a 2 gb one.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I have provided some information below that may help.
Question 1: Contact groups can be synchronized to the device by using Gmail. If you currently have your contacts in another client other than Gmail, I would recommend exporting the contacts as a .CSV, and importing them into Gmail. (Instruction below)

After this step it would be recommended to check the Gmail Synchronization (Instruction below)

Question 2: The Samsung Continuum has a pre-installed 8GB microSD card.
Connecting Issue – In connecting with the Macbook Pro I have provided the steps below:
Step 1 – Enable USB Mass store mode on the device
-Press Menu
-Select Settings
-USB settings
-USB mode (ensure Mass Storage is selected)
Step 2 – Connect the device to the Mac using the supplied USB cable.
Step 3 – Enable USB Debugging Mode (Instruction article below)

Mass Storage Mode (ensure in the notification bar you select the Mount option)

HI, Javimon
Not sure what you mean. I had a Droid so flying half-blind. There are different scenarios you may be describing: 1) Contacts set up on phone but not in Gmail (you could do this on Droid ) or 2) Display option where your contact list displays only those with telephone numbers.
If you CAN do the first and want to, I think the below does it. But IF that's the case, they wouldn't sync to gmail and may be lost unless you are also using backup assistant (if that''s a feature of Continuum). To keep it simple and in case the phone was erased, I didn't have any contacts separate.
2. At the Save contact to prompt, touch Phone to save the
account to your Contacts only, or touch an account for
synchronizing the contact (available options depend on the
accounts you have set up for synchronization).
If you are talking about SHOWING only telephone # contacts on your phone and not email-only contacts from gmail, etc, you can do this:
