hard drive dump of Mobile Phone

Can we get Hard drive Dump of any Mobile Phone using any Mobile Phone Manager. If possible then by which tool.

Very few phones have a hard drive (when the term means a rotating magnetic media drive).

Phone storage is more typically solid-state Flash memory, than a hard drive.

In any case, on, e.g., S60 based phones you can access the file system with apps like FExplorer (http://www.gosymbian.com/).

Nokia PC Suite (http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite) also allows a [more limited] view to the storage space on the phone from a PC (via its Windows Explorer extension feature). It also has backup/restore functionality.

I dont' know of any tools specifically made for copying/dumping the storage areas (file systems in ROM or writable Flash) to a PC.
