The cdb ( CDB) is a file extension associated with the Symbian operating system. It stands for "Symbian Phonebook Database" and it is an integral part of that system. It is the main database for storing phone numbers, contacts, calendar information and messages. This file contains all the information required to run a device such as the personal contacts, bookmarks, user settings, etc.
The CDB file extension is mainly used to store contact data and it can also be used to store SMS text messages in an encrypted format. Any changes made to this file will be automatically updated, making it easy to keep up-to-date records of the device. The CDB format is also used in other related programs such as Sermonindex.net. This format is common among various mobile devices and has been around since the early 2000s.

Other similar file types include CDFM, CDG, CDI, and CSV. All these files share a common purpose of providing contact data storage.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CDB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CDB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CDB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CDB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CDB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CDB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CDB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CDB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CDB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CDB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
