I just received the "Lucky You" screen, my contacts have been out of commission for over a week now. In the past, I have copied my contacts (xml) to a folder on my computer, that way if they got corrupted on the MJ unit, I could just copy them directly to the unit, no more typing them in one by one. Now all of my contacts are gone, again, yet when I look at the xml file on my MJ unit, all the info is still there. I typed in a few names & phone numbers and saved them, it seems now that they aren't being stored on the MJ unit itself any longer.
While I was typing in my contacts, my computer lost connection to the internet, I didn't realize that fact until after I restarted my MJ, upon doing that, I discovered that none of the contacts had been saved (arggg! 30 minutes down the drain!), the MJ said I needed to be connected to the internet in order to download my contacts.
So, again I ask, where are they saving my contacts? On THEIR servers? I'm not sure I like that idea...
Where are the contacts stored now?
