When you plug your phone into your computer, does it come up under "my computer" as a new drive?? If it does, you should be able to explore and copy all your files.

Ok So what about my phone numbers that I have on there.

The contacts are already on Outlook if it's installed
once your Dash is connected to host computer, go to My Computer->mobile device
your files on Dash's My Documents are also on My Documents\(your Dash)
everything on the memory card will be intact, just use card reader to retrive them

Outlook is a key
this should be included with your Dash software
without it, you're likely SOL

It IS included with Dash software. Trust me, I refused to install Outlook before getting my Dash, but I installed it for the contacts and have it synced solely to either my Dash or Curve... no email addresses, just for the phone

Report back here once you've got it, and I'll try and walk you through the steps to sync your contacts - it can be tricky.

If you don't have the included Dash CD anymore, you can try ebay. I found an auction currently going @ $0.99 for Microsoft Outlook 2000... $28 for Buy It Now.

Outlook express won't work with active sync. I' tried and it won't connect.

You're right, my mistake. Outlook Express is not supported on the Dash. I'll update my post.

Ok I got outlook on there an my phone numbers came up so now when I get a new T-mobile dash I just sync the new phone to outlook n thats the way I can get my numbers back on my phone.
