    I had a 6230i and backed it up religiously using nokia pc suite. Last night I lost my phone and bought a 2600 as a replacement. I tried to restore my contacts to my phone but it won't allow me as i'm not restoring it to the same phone.

    How do I get my contacts back???? :confused:

    Are you talking about the 2600c as in the newer 2600. Cause if it was the older one it would be older than the 6230i so that could be the problem. I have successfully restored and backed-up to different phones a load of times

    This is what I get when I try restore.

    When I browse through to the location of my backup files of my old phone none show. I think because it knows none of the backups are from my currently connected phone.

    Are you using Pc suite 6.86? Since the 2600 is relatively new i cant see why it cant support other phone backups.

    Just installed version 6.86.9.3. Still no luck. Now contant copier only shows me a very old backup I did in 2007. I loaded that but no luck with recent backups

    Anyone know any other programs which can open the backup files? I'm just pissed off at Nokia that after all my backing up I cannot read my backed up files and load the contacts on to my new phone!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

    I tried open the file in Wordpad and notepad but while I can get some info it is padded with wierd symbols and the like.

    This defeats the purpose of me backing up in the 1st place.:mad:

    I think the problem lies with the 2600...suggest taking back the 2600 and changin it for a different model...maybe a 6000+ series, 6300, 6151 etc...
