have you sync it with outlook

with outlook, i only sync my emails, tasks, and calendar not my phone book b/c i have too many contacts and do not want things to get mixed in between the 2. are there any other ways? is it possible to link it to two differnet profiles?

Yes, there has to be other ways. I think there is a file in the windows directory for contacts. I saw it once or twice while going around explorer. I don't know if you can just drop and drag.

you can back up all your contacts to sim...

you can back up all your contacts to sim...you will just have to re-enter them as home, mobile, etc. when you put them back on yoru phone...

actually, in outlook you can create groups and add your current contacts to that group so that way your phone contacts don't get mixed in with them...

never mind, dont' think this will work...

i can direct you on saving to sim but i was trying out the outlook solution but doesn't look like it will work....

to save to SIM... go to programs/SIM Manager then goto menu and select contacts to SIM....then make sure all contacts are checked then hit save....
