First, I'd like to thank everyone in this forum for making our phones more awesome than they already are, you guys know who you are. I've been lurking around since I got 6.1, but now I have a very annoying issues that I'm trying to fix.

I created a backup of all my phone's (not sim) contacts with 6.1 before updating to 6.5. However, I realized that same menu with the Backup/Restore functions has completely changed and does not offer the Restore function anymore. So now I'm stuck with a .dcb file that I can't restore, or open up in any other program, as far as I'm aware. Besides the obvious option of getting someone with 6.1, opening the file there and making a backup to my sim card directly, is there anyway that I restore that file, or at least open it up somehow?

Thanks in advance.

"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient file permissions."

Nope, can't get past that message.

Thought that may happen it's strange as installs on PPC's with 6.5.

I sync all my contacts to Outlook and resync my phone after flashing. Makes it easy and is one of the reasons I am now a Windows mobile addict
