You can backup your old SE phone contacts to Memory Stick (Contact > Options > Advanced > Back up to M.S.) then copy the PB_Backup.vcf file from \MSSEMC\System\PIM folder and copy into your M2's same location using a memory card reader. You can't bluetooth the file as it is a system file.

Then in your C905's (Contacts > Option > More > Advanced > Restore from m.card).

I did this with my W900i's contacts to my C905.

I think the C905's current firmware is having this lag issues. When I open Contacts in Message it will lag. Also the screen will turn dark when I'm using and it will hang in the Menu screen for a long while. Then after it auto restarted itself then it will be fine. This is what I'm having with my C905 at the moment. So hopefully this is fixed in the major firmware release.

Please help! Having done an internet-wide search, this was the only place I found anyone who mentioned PB_Backup files and seemed to know what they were talking about.

I currently have an HTC Diamond (don't have a go, I THOUGHT it looked a good phone...! lol), but previously have always had SEs. When my HTC diamond (no memory card, only internal storage) randomly deleted EVERYTHING the other day, I went back to my old W810i to recover the contacts that it had on it, and at least salvage some of my numbers. As I was starting to transfer them via bluetooth, the W810i gave up the ghost for good. Now all I have is the few phone numbers that made it, and the Memory Stick Pro Duo from the W810i, which I bought a Card Reader to read. It has a file called PB_Backup on it, which I am sure is the one that holds all my precious information, but when I open it on my PC using Outlook, it only yields one contact, the first one in my phonebook.

Please, please, tell me there is a way to revcover all the numbers from this file? If I transfer the file onto my HTC will it magically make all my numbers reappear?

PLEASE HELP!!! I am at my wits' end!! cry.gif

If you have PB_Backup.vcf file. You can copy it into another SE phone which can restore from Memory Stick into X:\MSSEMC\System\PIM\ folder. Go to Contact on your SE phone > Options > Advanced > Restore from M.S.

Not sure about using the PB_Backup.vcf file on a Windows Mobile from a SE phone. You can try and see what happens.

Thank you! I am getting another old SE that I lent to a friend back in a few weeks and will try that then. In the meantime I will struggle on with only the numbers I have managed to re-collect. I tried using the file on Windows Mobile on my HTC and it couldn't even find it as a recognised file on my phone. I am NEVER buying HTC again and when my darn contract runs out I'm going right back to SE phones. Stupid shiny touchscreen lured me away... blush.gif
