hi, i am now awaiting a replacement phone because i've had the terminal freeze on the verizon screen that many other users of this forum have described. because i have outlook express and not outlook on my computer, i had not been able to sync contacts and calendar, so i've now lost all this as well as my photos, etc--and judging from the problems reported here i'd be smart to expect other freezes in my future. i wanted the Q as a pda, but losing this data periodically won't give me that functionality. is there software which will allow me to back up this info or which can be used instead of the installed Q calendar and contacts and can be backed up? is there a way to backup using active sync but without outlook? i checked out sprite mentioned elsewhere here but i can't tell if it backs up calendar and contacts, it seems not from the way i read the description. any advice?
