I know this is old question, but....
Is there any viewer/converter/editor software available for contact.cdb file?
does anyone know it? THX.

nope, but if you want to backup all your contacts in your phone in one file just do the following:
Open the contacts, then select "send this folder" by (ir, bt, mms), cancel the send process, use a filemanager and go to the "mail" folder on the c-drive and look for the all.vcf file in one of the subdirectories. You can export this file to your ms-duo, pc or another (se) phone and it contains all your contacts with the assigned pics (not ringtones!).

@deliciosomarron
Thanks for the tips.
However, the problam is I only have contact.cdb in my PC (no P900 on hand, it goes repair center...) Therefore, I want extract my contact information from that file, so can transfer to my temporary Nokia phone. Any idea on the solution? Thanks!

Mmm try to install Brokia PC Suite software for PC and look if you can import ur cdb file to it.

you can import it into excel, (import a comma separated data file) but it does come out very very messy. the data is all there though, it's *just* a question of sorting through the junk

I think Contac Manager can do the trick.

It exports your contacts to a .csv file.
I use it to backup my contacts. I tested restore several times and it works oke.

@Jon
No, Excel cannot import the contact.cdb.
@Oco
No, PC suite cannot import the contact.cdb.
@pikey100
Yes, u r right, the messy data that I cannot handle!
@evdk
Thanks for the software, but it is Symbian base software (sis), now I only have PC and "contact.cdb" file, I need PC software to read it.
Any others solution?

Yes i know how you feel!
I would love a program like this
i need read my cdb file on my pc but i've had no luck

One nice thingy: use UIQ 2.x emulator
You can use all your contacts/Jotter notes/Calendar entries, etc in it just like in a regular phone:)

I do not think that ANY special 'rescue service' is needed;) Just do as I say - use UIQ emulator from UIQ SDK (you can get it for free from SE site). Put the Contacts.cdb file into the emulator's system/data/ dir and export it from there:)
Data privacy;P

You make it sound so simple!
It's not. The emulator is in the SDK. It's a big download, a pain in the ass to install and properly setup and in the end if you are not persistent you end up giving up.

I have just sent my .cdb file to lisa at cellphonesoft.com.
I'll tell you how it goes
Posted by _TB_TB_
UIQ SDK is about 200MB, but its worth downloading. You also can download Moto A925 SDK (~50MB only). There is really nothing to set up if you use A925 SDK, and almost nothing to set up in plain UIQ SDK.
Its his choice, anyway;) I wouldn't send my private data to ANY company.

I would love the uiq emulator but i'm only on narrow band and even thats unreliable.
My laptop is a bit old anyway i think its 6 yrs old maybe older it canjust about handel ME

And one more question about contacts.cdb: how to delete this file from the P800 ?
Due to synchronisation issues sometimes contacts in phone are doubled and this is very inconvenient. Any ideas ?
_ _ _ _
Have found the problem solution myself using only Outlook and Ericsson Comm Suite for P800
Problem solved

Yeah I got my emails today I've been off work a few days.
But Lisa at CPS sorted it!
I now have all my contacts back!
Yeah!
Lisa and the gang at CPS are all ALRIGHT!
Posted by albatross
Is Lisa still here? I am still looking for some tools or service that could convert the contacts.cdb file into CSV file so it can be read by PC application. Many Thanks!
Posted by Zed@CPS
Yes, we are here and can do conversions. Contacted you via Email.
