Also, you can just copy pim.vol from the root of your device to your storage card. Doesn't typically work across OS versions (ex: upgrading from WM6 to WM6.1, etc), but it's good for a quick backup. PIM.vol also contains calendar events, etc.

Just reading through the Dashwire site and it states that "you’ll be prompted to install a small application on your phone that will keep your phone constantly connected and in-sync with your private, web-based Dashwire account." How badly does this affect the battery since it is constantly connected?

U don't have to have it constantly updating. I just manually sync my dashwire account every other day or so, before I go to sleep.

Trag- Once a user uploads content to the web, it will always be accessible to them, even if they don't have the Dashwire client installed on their phone. That said, the data won't be constantly updated unless the client is on the phone, nor will users be able to transfer contacts and settings to another phone unless the client is present. Yet it would probably be ideal to just keep it on your phone if it wasn't too much trouble
