Exporting Contacts
Anyone know if there is a way to export contacts with WM5? I have to hard reset, but I want to backup my contacts first, and I can't use activesync, any backup utilities, or install any new software. Basically, I need to know if I can simply save a file that has all the contacts (and what that files is) or export them to excel or something. Please help.
-Cjradek P.S. if it helps, my device is a cingular 8125 | |||||

Kind of answered my own question here. In the root of the device (WM5) there is a file called "pim.vol" which holds all of your contacts, and I'm not sure what else. I had to use Total Commander to copy it over to my mini SD card. After a hard reset, you can restore the file using Total Commander and then do a soft reset, and all your contacts will return! I've only tried this on my Cingular 8125 running WM5, but I'm assuming you can do the same with all WM5 devices.
