Can someone recommend a way to backup contacts ?

[yusufg]

Hi, I keep my contacts on the phone since my SIM space has run out
I tried to use Google contact sync but that brings in all the people I have emailed and is not specific to just phone numbers

I am currently on 1.5 (am using PCCW/Hong Kong) and I see via HTC's website that they have announced a 2.1 OTA upgrade.

Before I upgrade, I would appreciate if someone could provide a way for me to backup/restore my contacts should they get wiped out in the upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1

You can use HTC Sync and back up to Outlook, or you can goto contacts in your gmail account and create a folder for the ones you dont want backing up to your phone.
