I did a backup of the phonebook to the memory stick on my w810, but when I look into the file (backup.vcf or something like that in the 'PIM' folder on the memory stick) it only holds one contact, the first? Am I overlooking something or is this an error?

It does that, but if you restore it on another W810 it works fine and loads all the numbers!

Check the size of the file, 1 contact is about 100 bytes, so if for example u have 300 contacts the file size shoud be 30 kilobytes.

400 contacts around 40kb and so on.

That sounds like a great feature to have. I used to have a third party app on my Symbian phone to do that. Does the k750 have such a function? It'd be really great to have it.

It's a really useful function, a real pity that the K750 doesn't have it. Nonetheless, at least it's being implemented in the newer phones (I presume, seeing that the W810 has it). It's stuff like these that make me love SE phones.

I opened the file with 'notepad' on the computer and indeed, all contacts are there. Really useful, because you can save it on your pc as extra backup and maybe import into other programs...
