ON my phone I have mobileme and icloud. My current iphone calendar is synced to mobile me but I want to know how to switch that over to icloud. When I select the icloud calendar on the phone or the site iot is blank. All my entries are in the iphone under mobile me
 
have you gone to www.me.com/move to convert over to icloud, or did you just set up icloud separately?

This. Delete your iCloud account from your iPhone. Go to me.com/move and migrate your MobileMe account over to iCloud. At the end of the setup, it will prompt you to go to your iDevices and access settings--believe you'll see a message on your iPhone telling you as much. As soon as you open settings, you see your MobileMe account has been replaced with an iCloud account.

I lost all my contacts on the move from me to icloud :(

That's a bummer. Considering Apple's past history with their syncing services, I took their advice during the migration and made a backup of my Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks. Thankfully (and somewhat surprisingly), everything went perfectly smooth on all 5 devices that needed to migrate to the cloud.
 
Okay. I wanted to not delete mobileme yet but use the new icloud on a separate account. What I did was turn off mobileme on my iphone and imac (still want to use with my macbook pro). This removed the mobileme calendar from my phone. Then I had an iphone calendar entry and an icloud calendar entry. I turned icloud calendar off and then back on at which point it merged the two leaving me with only icloud calendar and evrything synced to my imac and icloud.com.

All this without disturbing my mobile me account that works with my macbook pro. Not ready to go to lion on that one yet.
