These .nbu files

My E65 was away for a cosmetic facelift, its case became very uggly. So my replacement phone was an N82. Previously I made a backup from my phone and from my memory card - so the one thing I had to do is to upload that content to the new phone. But to my misfortune the N82 didn't had a data cable. This totally blocked me - the PcSuite works on the old Dell, that has no Bluetooth connection, the BLuetooth-USB dongle was stolen - along with the other three computers.

So I started to look up an application that can open the .nbu files - these are the backup files made by PcSuite. So I started digging the internet, the first software was ABC Amber NBU Converter. This is a free application that extracts text messages and the phone numbers that come with is form the phone

The second software was - NokiaSMS - that is 22,5 USD - the dongle is cheaper. The try version of the software extracts a limited amount of data from the .nbu files: 50 phone numbers, SMS, calendar nota, nota, 30 files, 20 bookmarks. So I rushed to the store and bought a dongle :-D.

Where did you send your E65 off to have the front and back cover replaced?

I have seen the cheap kits on eBay, but I've been wanting new, authentic covers for some time now.
