Does anyone know what Import and Export functions do on the sync software?

You mean the Backup software?

It allows you to import a backup made from another P800. Could be useful in case your phone dies and you have to replace it or whatever...

Select the "Help" command (or just hit F1) in the software for more information.

Oh, OK. Gotcha. So without 'Export' you can't move a backup around like a normal file, or between phones.

Cheers for that

Actually, it says in the help:


Exporting a backup

This option allows you to export information to a file for use in other phones/programs.

So I wonder if there are programs that can grab information out of, say, your jotter file, or contacts file etc.
