Contacts.cdb - how to put back on phone or use VCard format

2 replies · 4,025 views · Started 18 November 2002

I was able to copy the C\System\Data\Contacts.cdb file to the PC via BTooth, but would like to know how I can get it out back on the phone as I need to format the phone but really need the contacts info.
Is it possible to import vCard format?
Ideas anyone...?

casue i don't have pc suite (this is probably the best idea to back up your phonebook), i bt'd all my contacts as vCards to my pc, then when i wanted them back i just bt'd them back again. The vCard stores everything including thumbnails of your contacts.

is the file contacts.cdb all my contact list of names and numbers???
if this is true i'd copy this file to my computer rather than usinf Vcard cuz pc suite dosen't work with my computer...
