How are the contacts backed up on the card? (what program, is it compressed, etc)
Have you made sure that the card still works?
My suggestions:
- Go to a sprint store, see if they can read the SD card (through another TP maybe?). have them import the contacts onto the pre.
- Try whatever program you used to see if it exported into a file that can be opened on a computer. If so, export those to a .csv or whatever then back up through a non device source (I use Gmail like the other poster, but exchange or another program should work).
- (Last ditch effort! Get a hold of another WinMo device (Hard reset it), restore your contacts there, then do a Gmail (or other) sync. Pull down your info from your pre. Hard reset the WinMo device again (to get your info off of it).
I realize this last method is cumbersome, but it worked for me. If you dont have an old device handy (or a friends device who has a good system wide back up), you can try to go to a sprint store and tell them you want to try out the device for a little while. You can do this in the store, and it will take about 30 mins or so depending on the size of your contacts file...
