hi all, i am about to brave virginizing my trusty 8GB 1.02 so i can upgrade it to 1.1.1 finally, and have only one problem w/ wiping my phone... i have photos taken when contacts were created that i really do not want to lose, is there any way to extract them from the phone or no? i poked around w/ cyberduck to see if i could locate them in the filesystem but no joy.

any pointer would be great, thx in advance friends..!

mine carried over with a restore so i dont think you should be worried.

The contacts shuld stay intact after you update nut just in case you have problems like i did and you need to restore you can back upd your contacts file

the contacts are stored in a file called : AddressBook.sqlitedb
you can copy it to your computer using ibrickr or WinSCP
the file is located in this Directory:

var / root / Library / AddressBook /

BTW unde rthat directory should be 2 files AddressBook.sqlitedb this fail contains the contact information with out the pictures.

The other file is: AddressBookImages.sqlitedb.

Sorry for the late response i missread and thought you only wanted to backup your contacts with out your contact images

My contacts sync into Microsoft Outlook (Windows user here) and I can sync them over from there if I need to.

Do they have the picture attached to them when you sync with Outlook?
