I have never made a master reset so I have a few questions about it.

1) Will the master reset delet that CDA file people are telling about?
If it does will the phone need that file? Will a firmware update fix that?

2)How can I save my contacts without doing a restore? ( i sync all my contacts with microsoft address book)

3)Will the master reset delete all unwanted files and absolutely everything except the phone's apps and files ?

thnx

No i dont think a master reset will delete the CDA file but a format for sure will, No the phone does not need it, Yes a firmwareupdate will correct this

Just sync all the contacts back and u will have a good system again

No a master reset will not delete all files a format is a better choice to get ride or really everything
