Extract Contacts and Messages from Nokia Backup Files

Creating backups [1] is always a good thing, similarly Nokia users can create backups of their contacts, messages and files using the Nokia PC suite software. Earlier today we told you about Nokia Backup Explorer [2], which allows you to browse .nbu files.
Nok Nok Who’s there is another freeware [3] and portable software [4], which will allow you to extract contacts and messages from the backup [1] files created using Nokia PC Suite.
The software allows you to extract the contacts and messages, so that you can use it in a different software like Outlook or to another phone.
Techie Buzz Verdict
The software currently only supports older versions of Nokia PC suite backups in the form of .db files and .dat files. I currently use Ovi suite, which creates files in the db3 format so was not able to test out the functionality.
