Is it possible to do a system restoration using my 3650 files?

i backed up my 3650
i bought a n gage

can i do a system restore on my N gage using 3650's Dat files? thanks!! =D

I guess you could restore your contacts.... not sure about the apps, though.... since the n-gage is new, just try it.... the worst that could happen is you having to do a hard reset to the phone... =P

Couldn't restore contacts...
I tried it 2 hours after i got my Ngage..
AND BOOM!!!!
AFter tryin to Restore my 3650 files to my Ngage,my ngage wont blank!! BOOM!! NO MORE!!!

I haven't tried this myself (and if you do, the responsibility is also yours), but if you have a PC Suite backup made from the 3650, then you could try doing a backup of the N-Gage with its version of PC Suite, and then hunt down the backup .dat file that contains Contacts.cdb, and replace that backup .dat file with the corresponding one from the 3650 backup & then restore the N-Gage backup to the N-Gage.

This assumes that there has been no changes in the PC Suite backup file formats, and no changes in the Contacts.cdb file format.
