Backing up PIM data

The phone's Personal Information Manager (PIM) data, such as contacts and calendar items, can be synchronized with PIM applications on desktop computers . You can synchronize them back to the phone after the reset.

If synchronization is not an option for you, you can use the backup and restore utility on the Nokia PC Suite, and request that it back up/restore the contacts and calendar data only.

Or, if you want to pick and choose which PIM items to back up, you can copy them to the PC via the Nokia PC Suite's phone browser. The PIM items appear as .vcf (for contacts) and .vcs (for calendar items) files on the PC. When you copy them back, the phone automatically converts them to the phone's internal format.
