Transfering my contacts using Bitpim.

Alright.... so just before I got my new phone (vx7000), I transfered all my contacts to my computer from my old one (vx6100). Now everytime I try to transfer those same contacts to the 7000, it says there has been an error and when I go to look at the contacts on my actual phone, only about 20 have been transfered. Transfering ringtones seems to work fine. I set bitpim to the vx7000, but is there any way to get that data (contacts) to go to my new phone?

This is what the beginning of the error looks like....

"An unexpected exception has occurred.
Please see the help for details on what to do.

Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

Figured it out..... in the 6100 contacts can be saved to a "none" category, which in the 7000's case isn't compatible. I changed that to a real category and now it works.
