I was installing and customising my phone and i ran into some troubles...

i had spb pocket plus, aebuttons and wm5torage installed (amongst others but...)

wm5torage converted all my spare memory on the 2gb card to flash memory and worked, but did not convert it back when the software was deactivated.

i had the aebuttons software installed, but did not work, and i also had the spbpocketplus installed on the card

the wm5torage blipped out and renamed the storage card to storage card 2, meaning that the spbpocketplus tried to ran it could not! this completely froze the orbit and refused to run. now by the safe mode that was with spb i managed to boot up the system, uninstall the offending softwares, renamed the storage card, took it out, booted, replaced and this basically set the phone to almost factory settings (minus the theme)

but this also destroyed some of the o2 custom settings that i liked (meters on the today screen, messages, device lock...) and also, the "extra" buttons 5 and 6 used for the camera and voice dial are now gone.

from the net ive found that the basics of these are found in the start > settings > today > items, but im left with 4 options in there, tasks, calendar, date and owner info.

whats the best option for me?

i reckon simply copying all the personal data to the storage card and taking the phone to the shop, who will just replace / send back to o2 for a reprogram of the rom, or is there a simple way for me to fix?

also, i know this is a stupid easy question, but how do i backup all my contacts AND extra data (if i backup to the sim i can only hold 99 names, and i lose secondary details (address, email etc..) also, i would like to backup so that when i get the new phone, i can run the backup again and my phone is back up to date...

i have the best part of 1500 messages, and 400 extended details of contacts that i can not afford to reinput into again!

thx
