How to back-up my mobile phone address book via Bluetooth or otherwise?

Hello Sinclair and Everybody.

Thanks for your reply, Sinclair, to this question.

A few minutes ago, I tried to carry out your suggestion:

Via the regular repos, I have installed Wammu and dependencies. But
the result is the same: communication with the phone via the USB
dongle, but still no access to the address book. A feed back I get
when trying to retrieve my phone book contacts via the laptop, is
something like "your phone does not support this function". A more
detailed debugging report you can find via this link:

When trying to export the contacts from the phone via bluetooth to the
laptop, I get again a feedback like "failed connection". The software
in my mobile does not deliver any debugging report :-)

Any other suggestion: either via Wammu or via BlueDevil or via any
other package and method?
Thanks, respectfully yours,

Bas.
