Back Up Your Contacts
Need to transfer your contacts from one mobile phone to another? Most of the time, I’ve encountered people saying that they’ve accidentally deleted an important contact or in some way they’ve lost their contacts. It made me wonder, they’re using a 3G phone or maybe a symbian 60 phone and yet they haven’t heard of this mobile application.
We cannot use mobile as a form of communication if we don’t have contacts on our phone book, right? Just like our mobile files, we also need to back them up. Contacts are more important than our files, copying them on our sim card wasn’t enough. Sim cards have limited memory.
This application wasn’t new to me, I’ve been using this mobile application for a long time and haven’t found any application better than this one. Backup Contacts v1.10 is a freeware and long time available in the market.
Import All – retrieve contacts from your backup file
Export All – back up your entire contacts to a file
Import Sel - retrieve a selected contact
Export Sel – back up a selected contact
Receiv File – receive file via bluetooth
Send File – send backup file via bluetoothHow to back up contacts:
- Open Bkup Contacts, click “export All”
- Choose “to Local File”, choose the drive or directory you want the file to be saved. I save them both on memory card and phone memory.
- Type the filename, click ok.
- If you open your file manager or FExplorer, you already have your backup named as “yourchosenbackupname.vcf”

Which s60 Are You?
Sometimes, mobile applications have different versions categorized for different symbian series. Some got confused on which their mobile phone belong and trying different application version that will work. Does it have to be always a ”trial and error”?
The S60 Platform (formerly Series 60 User Interface) is a software platform for mobile phones that uses Symbian OS. S60 is currently amongst the leading smartphone platforms in the world.
These are a few common features in S60:
- Devices’ display resolution is originally 176×208. Since 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3, S60 supports multiple resolutions, i.e. Basic (176×208), QVGA (240×320) and Double (352×416). Nokia N90 is the first S60 device that supports higher resolution (352×416). Some devices, however, have non-standard resolutions, like the Siemens SX1, with 176×220. Nokia 5500 has a 208×208 screen resolution.
- It supports Java (J2ME MIDP 2.0 commonly, but varies from phone to phone.) applications and Symbian C++ applications.
- Certain buttons are standardized, such as left and right select, Menu, Clear, and Input Settings.
There have been three releases of S60: “Series 60″, “Series 60 Second Edition” and “Series 60 3rd Edition”.
