Phone backup software program wanted
I have a Nokia mobile phone and have just downloaded the latest terrible, overbloated software to back up my numbers stored in the phone memory.
It is not very user friendly and impossible to keep the precious numbers in other locations like a CD or an external hard drive. Having just suffered a laptop hard disk failure I am a bit sensitive about this.
Can someone please write a simple program to download the numbers to a two column spreadsheet and that can be put as a software download on your site or on your cover CD. This is the approach SIM card readers take but sadly Nokia does not.
This sould be simple to download, use, edit and then upload to the phone.

I can recommend Oxygen Phone Manager (http://www.oxygensoftware.com/en/default.asp) and LogoManager (http://www.logomanager.co.uk)

Hi there
Try https://zyb.com. Its a free online phone backup service that syncs your calendar and phone book and make it accessible online. All it require a GPRS connection. You didn't mention your phone but I believe you won’t have any problem because they support plenty of phones. Once you sign up and synce your phone, you can further share and import your data to with anyone you like and anywhere you like.
