Last time i backed up my files on my phone, i did it with a program through the phone. Now… is there anyway to back up the files on the phone now through my computer by just syncing them. Basically my display took a shit on me… everything works… i can hear calls…text’s coming in and when i sync them up… it reads everything fine, but the display is about 20 different colors and all distorted, so i can’t see a thing. I the last backup i did was the 1st of sept., but there were a few things i need on there that i put on after that date. anybody have an idea? ---

Sync it up to your computer. Use Windows Explorer and find your phone listed as a drive. Copy and paste. You bastard and your sunshine down there. ---

just got rid of the phone through sprint, if you sync it to your comp, you can open up “pda” thorugh my computer, and you can back it up… all your contact are saved in active sync everytime you sync… ---
