Hoping someone will be able to help me.

Got new laptop with Vista, installed Outlook 2003, installed Mobile Device Centre, set up O2003 and connected my Trion to my laptop.  Foolishly, I didn't change the settings so that any changes would be reflected on the PC rather than the device and now all my Outlook contacts on my phone have been removed (should have been paying more attention rather than talking a friend through setting up their wireless connection).  

So, is there any way to recover them or have I lost them all?

Thanks for any advice anyone has.

Unfortunately they've probably gone for good

Your only (very) faint hope may be if Outlook put the deleted entries into its Deleted Items folder.

Unfortunately, it's not been so kind.

Thanks anyway.  Luckily I've kept all my SMS for the last 18 months, so I've got most of the contact numbers, it's just the loss of addresses, birthdays etc.

Timely reminder to buy a Backup program I think!

Or even use PIMBackup which is free
