I have like 200 contacts on my phone right now and I would like to transfer them to my new phone. The Katana has bluetooth so can I just type up all my contacts in address book and transfer them via bluetooth with my macbook?

There are two ways to do it, depending on support for your phone. If you can get an iSync plugin (I can't find one for your phone, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist) you can pair it with your macbook and synchronise changes to Address Book and iCal so new contacts on your phone get added to your macbook and vice versa. I use this method to sync my phone, Palm PDA and macbook. It does mean than when I swapped my phone and Palm late last year I just paired them with the macbook and ran iSync and everything was restored.

The other way, if you can't find a Sync plugin or just don't want to, is to send your contacts to your macbook from your old phone (or type them if it doesn't have bluetooth), then select them all and choose the Card->Send These Cards... menu option to send them to your new phone.

Where can I find a plugin

I just picked up a Katana II from Credo and I was wondering if anyone knows where to find a plugin for iSync.

Good luck with sprint, hope they treat you better than Nextel has treated us!
The katana is a pretty nice phone IMO, hope you like it.

Hope you find a way - I had a Katana (nice phone) until recently then because of inability of syncing with my Quicksilver I switched to a Palm Centro. Now is syncs perfectly.
