If you have been following this NG for awhile (handle looks familiar), go
back and do a search on "Backup Assistant". It's a VZW feature that will do
exactly what you want without cables or anything.
It's free to VZW customers who are enrolled in "My Account", which is in
itself free. It will appear as if you have to pay $1.99 per month for it,
but they specifically state they will waive the fee.
Very neat---it backs up your Contacts List to VZW's server. You can then
"push" the list to your phone from your PC (if, for instance, you have do do
a Master Clear on your phone). It appears ideal for just what you asked. It
also updates the Contacts List automatically, at whatever general time of
day you choose (morning, afternoon, evening, late night). Any New Entry you
put into the phone will automatically push to the server, while any new
entry you make from the PC will push to the phone.
You can print out a hard copy of the list anytime you wish to have it for
your files.
I tried it, and asked about it here, and there are a number of inquiries
about it on HoFo, I haven't heard anything negative about it yet.
Somewhere along the line, I believe this is one way VZW is trying to get
around a few of the perceived advantages of using a SIM card-based
system....just my opinion.
Of course, those of us who are highly sensitized to personal security and
privacy issues may object to VZW having all your contacts on their server
(and they are certainly entitled to feel that way), but of course it's their
choice to NOT use this feature. OTOH, someone who is that sensitive about it
shouldn't keep a contact list on their phone anyway.....how do we know they
can't "pull" the list out of the phone already???
HTH,
