Where are contacts stored?

[omoshiroi]

Hi guys,

I looked around for an answer to this but i cant see it.

Let's say I have all my contacts on my phone, not on my memory card, not on my SIM. I like it this way because i can store more and with more options.

I would like to locate them and manually copy them to save them on my pc.

Does anyone know where they are stored in the phone?
Thanks.

I was thinking of the same thing, where are the contacts stored so we could just transfer that file(s).

Anyone know?

There is a software that can store your contacts, messages, tasks...etc. It also can automatically back them up in one file which can be saved in your memory card or your personal computer for later use.

Software: PIM BACKUP
Downloading link: Download PIM Backup 2.8 for Windows Mobile PocketPC - PPCPimBackup allows to backup/restore the Personal information of the pocket pc user - Softpedia

I just DL'd and ran PIM BACKUP. Selected to save contacts only, file saved, hopefully it works when I need it.

Believe me, You won't!!

My advice to you is to create a folder in your memory card to keep the PIM Program and your saved file . This way whenever you have to make a software update or hard reset , they won't be touched.

I assume that you figured out how to restore your contacts through PIM. If not, let me know.

Using Outlook (not Outlook express), enables you to sync your contacts, so you can store them on your PC.
