At the risk of feeding the android list <smile> a) if you just connect USB to your linux machine you can browse the phone or mount etc gingerbread etc did this without fuss ice cream needs a do this then that (google it) b) every phone I've seen has options to store contacts on disk (you then get 2: 1 SIM 1 disk) you may then swap sims, delete the sim copy etc etc c) samsung use Kies Air. It does all the above wirelessly. To misquote W.C (Churchill) it is the worst software you've ever seen except for everything else.
