Hi there, hoping someone can help here. Unfortunately 2 weeks ago my 6630 drowned to death, but luckily i had made a back up of all my contacts a week earlier.

Having installed the version of Nokia PC Suite that came with the N80, i tried to restore the .nfb file that woz created when i backed up my contacts from the 6630 - but no joy ! For some reason the file doesn't show up in the Content Copier/Viewer (?). I take it, it's just not gonna happen this way !

It's frustrating cos i desperately need those numbers ! Is there any way to actually view the .nfb file on my pc in the correct format ??

Also, where would the contatcs have been stored ?? On the phone or the memory card ?? I still have the memory card, so i suppose i can put this into another nokia and bluetooth the contacts over. Can this be done in bulk tho or would it be a case of sending each one seperately ??

Any suggestions on wot would be the best solution would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, or think to know, the backup made by one phone, could only be restored on same phone. Even is another 6630 phone, is don�t go to accept the file. So You have a file, and can only be read in same phone. Take that damaged 6630 to a Nokia Service Point, and then do a restore. After that do a backup, not only to the card, but for PC. Is the safest way. If that file could be read for another PC software, I don�t know!
