I lost my phone at work (or it just got up and walked off) today. Is there any way to get my contacts back from desktop manager or something. I really need alot of the phone numbers that were on there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you ever do a backup? Ever sync with Outlook, Yahoo, or Google, or something?

yes i did do a back up and have the ".idp" file but i no longer have a phone to load it to. Is there a way just to get the contacts from the .idp file?

There's a program, ABC Amber, I think, or something like that. Do a search. I've never used it, but I understand you can read an ipd file with it, maybe even at least cut and paste from it. That is if you didn't encrypt the backup.

Thanks for the tip but i wasn't able to view it with ABC AMBER, but I came across a program that was free called Magicberry that would let me view all my contacts.

Any idea what the problem was with ABC Amber? May be useful to anyone else coming across this thread after us.

SmrtGuard is great for that.

Make sure that you tell the carrier as you are liable for all charges up until they are notified.
