Recently, whilst having to hard reset my Sony-Ericsson mobile phone – a w850i in fact – I have to quickly find a way to backup my sim and mobile contacts to my Apple, Mac OSX based machine to safeguard against their loss during the full restore.

Del.icio.us has been my networked repository for links and web-based stuff I’d like to flag for some time now, but I recently took part in the Evernote beta and am moving ship.
