How can I copy contacts to my sim?

[VW_ELM]

With the simmanager, I can copy the phonebook on my sim to contacts.
But is there a way to reverse it too? I mean copy some contacts to my sim?

Thanks in advance

In Contacts, if you tap and hold on one or more selected contacts it allows you to save to SIM.

the normal way to back up contacts or pim data to the pc would be: sync it!, put it in the cradle, set up a partnership, then all your pim data (except sms) will end up in your outlook and can be synced with any other device (replacement i guess). another way would be pim backup. but exactly how broken is your display, because your suggestion to back up on the device itself would require, that you at least see something!?

to get to the step by step part (in case your display shows information, but is maybe without touch function):

1. go to this site and download mymobiler (to control your device from your pc): http://www.mymobiler.com/
2. install it to the pc, it will install on the ppc automatically, once connected to the pc
3. if that worked, you should be able to see the device's screen on the pc and control the device with mouse and keyboard, so avoiding your screen problem
4. to the actual backup: go to http://www.dotfred.net/ and download pim backup 2.8 for your os, either the wm2003 or the "wm5 and up" version
5. unzip the package
6. copy the exe to your device
7. start it using mymobiler
8. choose data to back up, in your case the contacts (and maybe a little more)
9. pick the location, where to put the backup file
10. start the backup.
11. once it's done access that location and copy the backup file to your pc
12. through your broken device out of the window ;)
13. take a new device, connect that to the pc, copy the pimbackup exe and the backup file onto it
14. start pim backup, pick restore, pick your backup file and hit start
15. as soon as it's done, your contacts, mail, calendar, whatever you picked to back up in the first place is restored to another device and possibly another os

if you don't have a new device yet, maybe you should think about just syncing the device with outlook, because your pim backup file will not import into other devices (non-windows mobile devices) or outlook or anywhere, you can only use it on winmo devices, while outlook pim data can be synced with nearly every brand of mobile phone, in case you pick another kind of phone as a replacement for your device.

in case you also want to know how to repair your device or where to get spare parts and so on, please re-post. for your one line i already sat here for 20 minutes writing a novel of things you maybe don't even wanna know ;)

have fun, good luck, re-post
