+1 for Outlook via Activesync and having Outlook 2007 makes it sooo much easier to extract your contacts to an Excel sheet just in case.

THEN sync to dashwire. If you use Dashwire first then sync to Outlook it will cause duplicate and triplicate contact entries. its a known issue and it stopped me from using the service until i got this phone because i refused to wipe my mogul yet again.

I tried the pim.vol trick with Total Commander and it resulted in TF3D not being able to loadn and yet another lengthy Hard Reset of my phone.

So First use Outlook via Active Sync (be sure to set it to change items on computer on the initial sync)

Then export those contacts to a spreadsheet of some kind

Then head over to Dashwire.com and create yourself an account and avail yourself of the free awesomeness that is the service they provide.

I DO NOT recommend that... it can cause major problems between devices

I did it. It works fine. Just don't try to open the contacts until AFTRE THE SOFT RESET. Other than that, there should be ZERO issues.

Seem to work so far. by doing that i even got the call history transferred over. it did say can't overwrite file first time, but that was probably because i used the phone to call someone a little bit before. after a soft reset i was able to overwrite. then another soft reset and it's ready to go...

You could:

use outlook
use Dashwire
use mail2web free exchange server account
PIM backup

I think the fastest and safest way would be mail2web - create the account, add the server to the mogul, wait for it to sync, then add to the touch pro and wait a bit more.


that's what I prefer too, plus you have an online backup then you can sync it on any device
