To store the contacts on the storage card you have to go to file explorer (which is in Start, then Programs)
-in the upper right hand corner you'll see "Show". Click on "My Device"
-navigate down to "pim" file, then (on the lower right) click "menu", "edit" then "copy.
-go back up to "Show" and click on "Storage Card"
-then you can simply paste the "pim" into your storage card. So whenever you add more contacts you'll have to repeat all of this to keep the most recent file in storage.

If you end up losing all of your data, or having to reset your device back to it's factory settings you can simply copy the "pim" from your storage card and paste it back onto your device. You will have to rename the "pim" that's in "My Device" (to anything) so that it will accept the "pim" that you are moving in to the folder.
I found this on another forum.. hope this help....


After you've done all of this, you have to turn your phone off. When it comes back on your contacts are restored...good luck!

Make sure when you copy your saved "pim' file from your storage card to your phone which you have reset to manufacturer defaults that you copy the file and no the folder. Aside from that it works perfectly, I had over 500 contacts on my phone and would have probably killed someone if it didn't work. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?
