I agree, it even lets your view/send/receive text messages, and keeps your pictures and videos uploaded too.

having tried a lot of backup software, i think it all depends on what you want to do. if you're just interested in backing up your contacts then pim backup is a good option, if you want to backup your contacts, texts, pics and such try out dashwire. it also automatically backs up after every soft reset. or if you want a full backup of your programs, contacts, texts. maybe you should invest in spb backup.

+1 for PIM Backup, its easy and fast takes less than a minute to back up everything on my phone to my SD card.

and if you want to back it up to a Server try Funambol.

yup, i use PIM backup. remember to save in your Internal Storage and if possible, create a copy of the backup file on your computer (in case you need to clear Internal Storage).

more importantly, why can't you get Outlook to work? Does it not work on the PC end or PPC end? What ROM are you using?

Dashwire does everything automatically, and syncs more than just contacts, and it's free. You can also text and call people straight from the Dashwire site and do other nifty things.

I usually keep a backup of my backup on my skydrive with my hotmail account (along with all of my .cab files) for easy finding. incase i have to hard reset the internal storag and what not.

Do yourself a favor and use more than one backup as well. There's nothing worse than your phone crapping out AND having your micro SD or internal storage get corrupted too.

I use PIMBackup, myphone from microsoft, and outlook. I'm thinking of using googlesync too, just in case. I've seen more than a few people lose all thier data because of a bad phone, or (most of the time) a badly abused, damaged, or liquid damaged phone.
