looking for a how to
 
like in my early post i just got the 6700 ppc from sprint

i can't understand how to back up all my contacts? I am running windows vista and sprint said i need to buy Microsoft outlook, which im not doing. does anybody know of a free program or another way to store my contacts in case something happens

outlook should be on the CD that came with the phone

Yep, use pimbackup. It will export your contacts/phone numbers to a file, that it can also restore. I've attached it here...

Carl,
Your attachment seems to be corrupt or is missing something. I'll look and see if I still have a good copy.

thanks for the help but the person i traded my Q for this phone didn't have the box or cd. just the device and couple of batteries

i will look for that program you sent to see if that helps thanks for sharing

also for some reason, I having trouble retrieving my Yahoo mail, anybody know a shortcut for this? i have been getting on fine since i got the phone now it won't connect and keeps saying my user id or pw might be wrong, it all started happening after i loaded that mms hack in to my phone (well Sd card)

Well, I didnt have my phone handy, I just grabbed that exe out of the oem folder. Make sure you removed the .zip extension off the end, it is not a zip file.... It's a Windows mobile .exe...

better yet, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705 , as it has all the latest upto date info, including cabs.

there is an exe file on the one i downloaded from xda but every time i double click on it says the file is corrupted or missing. Does this need to go straight to my phone or is this version bad to?

you need to run it from yer phone...

i backed up my info just fine just wondering do i need this program to stay on my phone or can i delete it and just add it if i need to back up or restore anything

computercarl 07-10-2007 08:32 AM

well, you need that software if you want to restore it again. I'd do this -- copy it and the file that it made off to your computer, or sd card if you have one in your phone. (You can run this directly from the sd card...) then if you ever flash, one of the first things you would want to do, is run it, and choose restore, and point it to the file it created, and it will restore everything.
