I am wondering if it is possible to keep a copy of my contacts on my storage card, and maybe how to use UC to load it should I have to hard reset on the fly I will have a contacts list.

I have beat my head against the wall searching this site, PPCGEEKS and others looking for an answer or a tutorial.

Honestly with all of the reading I have done if I missed it I will slap myself in the face.

Any Ideas? Any comments welcome.

um, i think everything is stored in pim.vol, so if u could copy that to the appropriate folder along with any related files; i don't see why it wouldn't work... it would probably require a reset afterwards though.

Try ppc contact backup application..
It creats backup of contacts and save all the contacts in a file with .csv extension.
just keep this file and contactbackup exe (does not require installation) on ur storage card
And u can restore ur contacts anytime....

having hacked many phones prior to my titan, I know how to export the phonebook via activesync, in .csv format. Thanks for the tip, I guess I need to figure how to load that automatically, without any software.

Thanks for the replies.

I copied the pim file over to my storage card and hard reset and was able to move it back over to the phone and it loaded my contacts. I had to rename the new pim file before I transfered the old file over. Then after a soft reset I was able to delete the renamed pim file.
