I say go with spb backup. I've used it for quite a while, and never had a problem with it. It'll create a file that you can put anywhere on your storage card. You can customize it, by selecting what you want to back up, everything, just contacts, etc... It's great to be able to put your phone exactly the way it was. If you go here
www.spbsoftwarehouse.com you download the cab and install it directly on your device. It comes with a free trial so there's nothing to lose if you don't like it, although i think you will. Pm me if you have any questions or need more help.
