Where are the contacts stored now?

Post by TreasureGift »

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...

They've been saving them on their servers for some time now, since the previous "Lucky you".

Hmmmm, it will not stop me from using my MJ, it's basically my only contact to the world, but that doesn't mean I like it. :evil:
