Need cell phone/computer help. Aaargh!
These thing I know are true;
1) Many cell phones are not waterproof.
2) If your recently amphibious cell phone will not power up, you cannot retrieve the 250 phone numbers that you used to have at your fingertips.
3) The computer brand e-machines? I'm pretty sure the "e" does not stand for "excellent".
Anyway, my Motorola V505 took a bath. Too bad, loved the phone. Cingular tells me that they cannot retrieve my number list. I asked if we could take the SIM card out and put it in a different phone. They said the numbers were stored on a hard drive, not the SIM card, so no help there.
I remembered that when I got the phone, I loaded the numbers onto an e-machines PC! The program is Motorola PhoneTools and if the old PC hadn't met an untimely electronic demise, my problems would be over. I could load my new phone, Moto Razr Z3 with my numbers. The problem with the PC is that it simply won't power up. I suspect it's the power unit.
Anyway, can I just get one of those little firewire hard-drive cases that act as a peripheral hard drive and retrieve the PhoneTools data into a working PC?
Any other ideas?
