USB Broke need to backup contacts to SIM!!!
 
My USB is broke and I'm going to have to send it in for repair...The repair service though says to backup everything as the phone will be wiped in the repair process.

Not that fussed about the apps and stuff but there is alot of contact info and I can't find an option to save them to the SIM!

Will I have to do this manually....please no!!!!!!!!!

Try inserting a microSD card and performing a backup to that.

Thanks...I'll have to see if I can find a memory card then and try that!

Or send the backup file over the air (WLAN, 3G) to your desktop.

Or bluetooth of course.

You can also use bluetooth to sync to a pc if you have one about? Also send contacts as vcards if that helps but backup to microsd is quick and thorough!

Didn't realise you could do that...how do i go about that?

Would it be possible to create a back up and email it to myself?

It only gives the options of

Communication and calendar, bookmarks, settings and applications list..........is contacts covered within these?
