How can I save my contacts from being deleted.

[PAPutzback]

If I detach the device from an exchange server. I know if I go into Active Synch\Menu\options and delete the exchange server I'll lose my local contacts. How can I get around that?

Thanks.

i'm not sure, but would a sprite backup of the contacts, than restore work?

Would that be personal databases in the backup data selection? Are outlook contacts stored the same way as the phone contacts?

I must admit I am not that up to date when it comes to exchange server OR the outcome when you detach your device.
But I have change Cell Phones, and lost my Outlook to Active Sync, and was able to restore the contacts, calendar appointments,
text, photos, and other information

Hope this Helps,

Look like my phone won't work either.

If you have an active connection with Microsoft Exchange server (which is frequently used for corporate e-mail), My Phone will not synchronize your contacts, calendar appointments, or tasks.

Might Dashwire work for you?

I thought dashwire was going to work but when I deleted my exchange info from active synch I saw the contacts at dashwire start dropping off. A nice site though.

Dashwire actually did end up working after a workaround. I connected to exchange and got all my contacts, synched with dashwire, unistalled dashwire, delete my exchange connection, reinstalled dash and it then asked me which contacts to sycnh and I chose the ones stored on dashwire. Thanks a bunch Geekcop.
