windows mobile sync's with outlook contacts. Means you can lose your phone at any time and its all there.
We use it to recieve email while out and about too. Like blackberry, but more functionality.

I've had loads of PDA type phones for work and have hated all of them. None of them worked properly. I've come to the conclusion that it can't always be the phone which only leaves windows mobile that they all ran.

I got an iPhone at the start of the year. Typing this reply on it now. Best phone I have had my miles. Unlike win mobile, it can multitask, is quick and doesn't require a reset every 5 mins. Also syncs with outlook contacts etc when docked. All this from someone who's never been an apple fan.
Still got the crap company palm treo - had to reset it twice today already.

None of this helps you though does it.

Are you sure you used the right backup or was there only one? By default, contacts should be backed up and you can restore them at any time.

What happened to cause it to crash like that?

Unfortunately, it's the same with most mobile devices, like your PC, always have a regular confirmed backup

Baz's problem helped me make a decision... The N95 was in the running, until this morning... I have now just ordered my new phone after much deliberation... Note to self: Put BigViper on Calls Barred list when it arrives

I'm surprised you lost the photos as these should be stored on the 'Mass Memory' of which you have 8Gb on the N95 8GB. Has this been wiped too?

It's not much help now, but you can backup the volatile phone contents (such as contacts) to the mass memory without having to connect to a PC. That way, if something happens, you have a backup on the phone. You do this with:

Menu > Tools > Utilities > Memory > Options > Back up phone memory

Would still always have a verified backup on the PC though incase your phone gets lost of stolen.

Baz, if you're passing, I have some software that can recover deleted photos/videos from mobile phones. Tried it this morning on my N95 8GB and was able to recover lots of deleted photos.
