When I hard reset the phone (fairly frequently as I rebuild often  everything comes down as soon as it's configured. More expensive, but has it's benefits.
You could use a contact manager backup program. Do a search on ppcpimbackup or htc data backup (there are others as well). These can backup your info to a file which can be restored the same way.
Lastly, you can copy over the pim.vol file.
Good luck  |

Recommendations:
1. Go to mail2web.com and get yourself a free pseudo-Exchange account. Pay a few dollars and it will be a real Exchange account. You can sync with this over the cell network or over wifi or via usb connection to a computer that's connected to the internet.
2. Go to dotfred.net and download PIM Backup 2.7. Use this to regularly backup your contacts and other data to you storage card.
3. Look at other free web-based mobile solutions that will sync your contacts and email (may require a little tweaking; I don't use them): Google, Windows Live, etc.

I set up an account on the mail2web.com.... I didnt see how to set up my phone to there though. I mean the options where there but it wasnt easy to follow. Also I finally got the activsync installed on this laptop. It runs bad. Think its cuz I got Vista running. It actually runs this windows mobile or whatever. Anyhow Do I need to do that dotfred.net right away? I mean im computer savvy but I havent done much with the 6700 and my now 6800 when it comes to installing programs and stuff. I really want to use it more. So Please be patient with me and help me get this running then I will be able to help others with theirs. Thanks....
I cant find that damn pst file. I guess I need to know where that is until i get all this other stuff working right. Thanks.
