I personally have all my contacts on a sim card.
I know that the tp2 doesnt really use a sim card but I just save my contact on it

Then when I flash or hard reset, i copy over my contacts and then remove it.

I took the sim card off my moms old nextel phone and it worked fine.
Maybe you can just get a sim card from any kinda phone

I was going to task 29 and reflash but now I'm affraid if the phones not even being recognized. Is there some setting or something that happened to of gotten changed that block my phone other than the obvious -virus protection.
Using windows 7. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

In my opinion, the only way to know for sure that you have a hardware problem is to flash the shipped rom back on your device and then delete partnerships and uninstall then reinstall WMDC on your PC. Backup any data you want to save first of course. Then if things work you can always flash a custom rom after you troubleshoot.
