First, I have Cingular 8125 with Qtek AKU2 ROM.
I have installed informant PIM and .mobile Contact Phone softwares. I love both of them, a way better than PIM apps that came with origrinally. However how can I remap the softkey for Conact and Calendar in TODAY and PHONE screens? I want to open informant when I press Calendar and Contact button for .mobile Contact Phone.
Help Please ~~
download this app i just installed it and it works great

Here is what I'm using. Even though it doesn't give you full control of what you want. It might suit your needs though.
Apart from using ActiveSync, is there any way to export the contacts stored on the phone to a PC? I was thinking if there might be a database file that can just be copied out with help of Windows explorer and back again after the phone has been reinstalled / upgraded.
Since I work as an IT Support for a large firm (that owns tons of these P3300's); it'd be great to do this as simple as possible and not mess up my own Address books...
Thanks a lot for your attention!
Try PPC Pim Backup, you can get it from here and its free.

You can use Jeyo mobile companion to backup all your sms, and microsoft outlook to backup all your contacts and calendar details.
PIMbackup, freeware, can backup contacts, messages......
sprite back up works smooth for me . 15 days trial period though.
I used to use PIMBackup on my xperia but found that after a restore the order of all my text messages was messed up.
Whats the best back up program for the touch pro 2 for contacts/email/messages etc?
Sprite Backup works perfectly.

I've always used sprite and think it's excellent.
trialling Sprite right now, so far, so good, loaded just fine, worked as advertised, so far therefore, so good
With sprite backup can the data be accessed from a pc if your phone is lost/stolen?
I had my phone stolen and because I had used binary mode with pim backup I couldn't access my data. Thankfully a friend let me restore my data to their phone and I was able to save it in a way that excel would display.
Use microsoft myphone....
Awsome App.
Backups up.....e-mails...contacts and pictures. If your phone gets stolen dont worry...you just re-sync it with your new phone and job done.

I am using this at the moment and it is perfect. You will need a hotmail account...thats it.
you also need a hefty dataplan - I can see a months' metered data (500 megs ain't all that much, really) being eaten up in fairly short order by an over-the-air backup set being created. Think I'll stick with local software solutions, not remote solutions, even though one has to pay for the local solution.

Why would you need a hefty data plan ?????????? Slap on Wi-Fi and sync your phone..lol
Trust me Sprite Backup is ****ing amazing. ****ING AMAZING.
I've created backups everyday. And when something happens to my phone. I factory reset my phone. And then I restore it with ONE BACKUP FILE created by Sprite Backup.
I don't even need to reinstall the software after the hard reset, because Sprite Backup creates a file that automatically restores your entire phone without the need to install the app when your phone is completely factory reset.
It always works perfectly. No registry problems. Nothing. You just have to know how it works and how to use it and how it "merges files and settings".
as for sprite, or the MS .. does it correctly save also all the linking and other info created by pocket informant?

Make your mind up
I don't believe there any so call "BEST" backup software...it is only the matter of preference which one you like or which have easy backup and restore method.
The most important it must work on your phone and must be able to backup and restore successfully :>
FYI, i am using spb backup... works great on my TP2. never failed me before.
I use dashwire (www.dashwire.com)... The good on this (besides its free), the data is stored on inet server, so u dont need to worry when changing/formating the computer and you can recover the data from anywhere.
SPB Backup
Sprite sucks
I have to say that I am very disapointed in the Sprite backup software. I purchaed this because of the deal they had with the HTC upgrade. I had this software on the tilt it was installed by default and it worked awsome. When you reverted to a backup the whole phone was restored to that state in time. all applications were removed all settings were kept.
When you do it with the current version no applications are removed. You need to do a hard reset. Then your mail accounts, or at least mine are screwed up and you have to fix them.
Does anyone know of a backup software that acts like sprite used to? A snapshot of the phone from a particular point in time?
Try SPB backup. It works great on my old Tilt, but I don't if is compatible with Tilt2 with WM 6.5.
SPB has a trial version
Why not use activesync if outlook if you have it?
I hate those SPB or Sprite, they are bulky programs, and not free!! PIM backup does the job, if you have threaded messaging disabled and restore messages.
Another vote for Sprite.
SPB and Resco backup are a distant 2nd and 3rd.
And I dont trust Microsoft to do backups for me ...
i used to use pim backup then i found spb backup which was nice since i only really cared for my sms which you cannot backup with outlook and ActiveSynch.
i always used a tool for my Sony Ericsson's call MyPhoneExplorer and since having my Touch Rpo 2 i really missed having it until i discovered Jeyo Mobile Companion.
from what i figured u want to do backups of sms and this goes one step further in that you can actually see all your contacts, sms's, call history ect without having the phone plugged in.
so my votes go to Jeyo Mobile Companion and then to SPB Backup.
just my 5 cents...
I think m:iq is really good - and free!

Since Microsoft has shut down my phone and I want to hard reset my phone because all the thumbnails in my Internet tab is gone. And even I can not find any answer here I want to know how do I backup my contacts,text messages and calendar appointments.. I want to backup my contacts with picture too is possible...
You can use spb backup or pim backup as a free alternative.
Sent from my HTC HD2
SPB is good for mail,sms,mms & ok for contacts (contact photos & ringtones can be a issue).
To get contact photos backed up I would recommend using iMobile contacts backup (backs up all images & individual contact ringtones perfectly & also handles unicode so my contacts in Thai & Chinese characters are displayed correctly.
Pimbackup will not do all you need but the 2 above will, used SPB over 5yrs & iMobile for about 2yrs, we set up our company staffs WM phone base details with it.
