Default Exporting/Importing Contacts

Is this possible? My phone (2nd Q ) is starting to crap out and I'm hoping I can backup my contacts before it dies.

Basically, you use ActiveSync to save your Contacts in Outlook. If you don't have a PC or Outlook, you'll need to use an Exchange server to store them (like mail2web Live).

Do a search on Saving contacts and you'll find lots of threads about this.

Just make sure you do it quickly before it craps out completely and you lose everything. It happened to me once before, just luckily enough I had a backup on my external drive. That is a must especially if you have lots of contacts. I have about 600 something!!!

it goes in the root directory

when you open up file manager at the top there is that gray bar...in that bar look for '\' and that is the root directory...it has the folder \application data; \my documents etc...
