    Hi all,
    wanted to try a key2 and got lucky enough to get a mint condition here in NOrway on the used marked.
    ( they tried it for half and hour or so after purchasing it in UK )

    Happy with the build quality, feels solid and keyboard is good. ( coming from a passport, this was the closest thing to a passport with android i feel )

    Just wondering about tips for backing it up, having a local backup like you can on the passport. Is that possible?
    Using sms backup and restore for the sms part, and myPhoneexplorer for syncing locally with outlook on a local phone calendar.

    Any good tips out there for backup? possibly other useful programs to get the functionality close to passport ?
    I really liked the blackberry link and blend combo on my pc.

    Look for Google backup in device settings, and use Google photos to backup your pictures.

    Thanks for the reply - but not exactly what i was looking for.
    Talking about local backup file on my pc to restore etc. I like having things locally, just a "thing i learned" ages ago and like to stick with that.

    I am trying to restore my Key2 backup from Google into new Key2 but the BBLauncher settings (icons, screen's setup etc) doesn't restore at all.
    When I do the same restore into Key2LE all the settings from the same backup will be perfectly restored.
