Question Alternative way to backup phone?

Please Login to Remove!

Hey Everyone,

I recently had an issue with one of the usb port pins being bent on my 8310 curve. This soon led to being unable to charge the phone or connect the phone to my computer via usb.

Today, I received a brand new 8310, and I was wondering if it is possible at all to retreive / transfer any of my previous data over to my new phone using a different method other than using the device manager.

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I thought i'd see if anyone on here had any ideas. It's just a bit of a pain to add all the contacts, bbm contacts, data etc. on the new phone manually.

Any info would be much appreciated!


Thanks.

You can use bluetooth. You don't sync with any program, Outlook.

Yes. One word.... "Bluetooth" I know that others have done it but I never use it so you will have to ask others for help if you can't figure it out!

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone.

Was able to sync using bluetooth.

Transferred all my data from my old phone to my computer then to my new phone.

It actually wasn't that difficult.

Thanks again.
