Two questions about 2125

[Guest gohome190]

I have two questions:

1. How do I back up my contact list (located in my phone's memory)? Where is it located when I hit "explore"?

2. Does anyone else have the excruciatingly annoying problem of the joystick on the 2125? Sometimes it refuses to move for me, and I have to push very hard to get it to move.

Thanks, guys!

My opinion is best way to back up contacts is to keep them synched in outlook through Activesync. The contacts are in a file called "pim.vol" in the root directory of the phone (as are all your calendar data). That file isn't really compatible with anything but windows mobile on the phone. You can copy the pim.vol file to your PC via "explore"......actually I think you have to rename it first...then copy....then rename it back to PIM.vol. Don't ask me why, but I've some experience trying to copy it. Be careful though because the 2125 needs the pim.vol file to boot properly...

Yes, the joystick is really wierd sometimes. Sometimes mine will move left..up..down...but not right (as an example). I reboot the phone and its fixed. Also though...if the phone is processing something...like email...the joystick will have a delay that can be very frustrating....but just wait a few seconds and it will come back. I've alse read here that joysticks on the 2125 can just fail and need to be replaced.
