contacts file

[2GMario]

dunno if anyone knows...

i was in a situation tonight, a friend of mines sim card is begining to go bad. since our phones are capable of more than they appear, i wanted to copy his sims phone #s to my phone as a backup, to my contacts list

after a hour of looking i could not find the contacts list database file

does it exist as a regular file anywhere ?

what i ended up doing, i had a extra sim card on me, so i copied all my phone #s from my contacts to my sim card

deleted all my phone #s from my contacts

put his card in

copied his sim card to my contacts

put the blank sim card in and copied from contacts back to sim

but it would have been nice to just rename my contacts db, make a new one, copy his in, rename his and back it up to a sd card, then rename mine to bring everything back to normal

so... does anyone know if the contacts list is stored in some sort of database file ? and if so, where is it / whats it called ?

if not, this might be room for a new program / mod / hack
