hey guys do u know how can i backup my contacts? Id like to erase the whole thing, but I wouldn´t like to type all my contacts again..
Phone has application called backup, guess what it does
(still if you are going to make full erase then you should run backup program and copy backup folder to your desktop computer and flash(vanilla+emmc), start phone and copy backup folder back to N900 so you can restore contacts. At least for me this worked.
I assume the reason uk got the update first is because of the uk vs mexico game last night, I believe the uk won.... a bit racist if you ask me as I had no idea the people at nokia hated the mexicans that much
