i want to do a hard reset to clear my phone but i need to know how to save my contacts then restore them because doing it manually would take hours.

any ideas?

Check out Dashwire.

Verizon Wireless also has Wireless Sync which is a pretty decent tool. One of these days I will write a detailed tutorial on it, I don't think we talk about it enough on here considering it comes pre-installed on most if not all VZW smartphones.

ActiveSync will work too.

Just make sure your settings in Activesync on your PC are set so that if there's a conflict it repaces item on the device.

windows live works nicely as well and can be used with anything with an internet connection and any form of windows

I do also export my contacts from time to time to excel, just in case.
