Backing up Mobile phone

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

Any suggestions on software to backup the address book on various GSM
phones, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc?

BT is preferred, but IR is ok. I know each one comes with their own
datasuite, but this doesn't always work with various implementations
of BT.

I have recently seen GSM Tool mentioned in another group, but the web
site doesn't reflect that version as being available and there is
mostly negative feedback on Palmgear.

Thanks in advance.

That's the whole point, proprietary doesn't work. Nokia BT on a 6310i,
WON'T work with another vendors BT card, AFAIK. Nokia says "only
qualified for use with Nokia BT products"

Don't care about Outlook Sync for phone, just want to backup the
numbers in case the phones go dead. There are too many numbers to fit
on a SIM. I only Sync Outlook onto a Palm.
