cheers lads - i've got the disc and cable. When you put it in file transfer mode i can see all the folders like pic, music etc but i can find where the contacts are saved in the phone to copy across?

Syncing with Outlook is good (and what I do - k750i and W810i), but make sure your phone contacts are in a seperate contacts folder to your usual email contacts. And once you have backed your phone contacts up to your PC, it's worth making a copy of it in case you accidently delete it.... if you haven't got your sync settings right (i,e, how to deal with duplicates etc.) it is quite easy to wipe everything off your phone/PC when you're messing about.
