Hi. I am using TyTn II. Wanted to know if I can access the files that store messages (sms) and contacts. Which ones would they be and how do I access them. Thanks.

If your need to access them is for a backup purpose then try PIMBackup. It's a good program that does just that.

Thanks thesire and sherpa. I actually wanted to store some messages in TyTn II that I retrieved from my old phone. Was wondering how could that be done. If I could create some new files for these messages and store them???

If your old phone is similar i.e. windows mobile os the you can run pimbackup which will save all your contacts and sms messages to a single file which you should be able to copy to your tytn 2 and restore all your contacts and messages back to your new phone using pimbackup again. if your old phone isnt a ppc then all i can sugest is that u forward the text messages you wish to keep to your new phone via sms. if you want to try pimbackup u can get it from here:
