Any way to backup contacts with a broken screen??
 
So i have gone through my first TP, I smashed the screen. It turns on but can see anything at all. I was wondering if there is any program i can use with out having to do anything on my screen to get my contacts off and to my new TP? I took it to sprint and they couldnt do it cause of the screen. Im sure someone has had the same problem. Next time im gonna backup my contacts!!!

Thanks in advanced!!

have you established a partnership with your pc? if so, outlook will auto sync all of your info. if not, you might want to make that partnership.

Yes. If you have outlook on your pc, and have sync'd in the past, then all of that information is in outlook. When you plug your new device in, activesync/windows mobile device center will recognize it and you can transfer your contact list and calendar info back to the phone. Just a hunch, but if you haven't yet done this, or no longer have outlook on your pc, you can install the trial version of outlook plus activesync(for xp) or windows mobile device center (for vista) and do a full sync from your pc.

1. install the stuff (outlook and activesync/winmobile device center)
2. restart the pc
3. restart the phone
4. fill in the blanks and check marks on activesync/winmodevctr
5.Let it sync
6. make sure you get your new phone before outlook's trial period elapses
7. plug the new phone into your pc
8. fill in the blanks and check marks again
9. Let it sync

You ought to be able to do all of this without any on-screen confirmation on your device. By default, activesync runs at boot-up on all winmobile devices.
