Ok, so here's the story...I got this new phone (verizon). It's a smart phone , I guess that is what they call them. I put all my contact information in there as well as everyone's email address. Since I am now paying for internet access it is cheaper for me to send emails over my phone than sending text messages (which I am not really good at).

The key board on this phone (HTC Ozone) is so small I can hardly even read the keys. Not ever really doing texting and emailing over a phone I really didn't think about the use a keyboard when I got the darn thing. So now I am trying to get my computer to talk to my phone so that I can back everything up. Seems the WINDOWS MOBILE 6.0 has some sort of error and refuses to run certain programs so I have to reinstall. The only thing is, the Active Sync on my computer will not allow not me to back everything up from my phone because it as well is broke. I uninstalled my active sync and tried downloading it and reinstalling it.

I have now come to the realization that Microsoft, I am blaming Bill Gates, has done it yet again!! I cannot sync any of my contacts UNTIL I make Outlook my primary email program, or whatever. I don't WANT Outlook! I don't want anything to do with Outlook. Outlook in my opinion allows all kinds of viruses of to invade my personal space. Microsoft has made (not by design) itself easily infectable!

So, as far as backing up my portable device....it'll be using the old fashioned stuff, a pen and a piece of paper.

Just a few remaining question:

WHO the HECK are some of these contacts in my phone????
Who the HECK is Lynn...I don't even KNOW a Lynn??
What about TG...who is THAT??! WHAT is that??!!
Who put these in my phone and where can I find them?
