set you mailbox to the MMC
Select all your contats and e-mail them to yourself.
Go to your outbox and save the e-mail to drafts.
Reformat Phone.
Go to the e-mail in drafts, open it up and open the attachments and you can then 'save business card' and put the contacts back.

or you can try backup contacts to MMC using internal backup command on phone: Extra - Memory - Options - Backup to MMC. I think, this is solution 😊
Yes, but, when he backs up he will be backing up a screwed phone - once he has reformated,if he restores, he will be restoring the screwed version back into his phone...

Or he could try backing up his contacts.cdb 😃
I remember I once read on a guy's how he backed up and restored his P800 or P900 contacts.cdb
He did it using FExplorer... connected to his mobile and he would push reset in the software and then cancel the reset as this would remove the lock on contacts.cdb.
Then copy contacts.cdb to his computer and do the same after a format to write it back.
