I have been using the Palm Pre from Sprint for a few months now and its been a good experience. I tend to forget how much we rely on those little devices, for email, messaging, pictures, you name it.
Well this morning I woke up, my device had been upgraded and it needed to either “erase all data” or “restart”. Well I choose restart since the first option didn’t sound all that appealing. After it restarted, it needed an email address and password that I can’t remember creating (it was done at the store right away and you forget it). So after a few failed password attempts I landed on it.
The phone had been upgraded and all my settings had been removed. This included all your text messages, all your bookmarks are gone, all your past phone numbers, gone.
Luckily the pre will sync up your contacts, calendar, and email with google and/or palm so most of that will stay, but any logs were wiped away.

Now, it would seem in this day and age that phone companies are smart enough to let people know, hey I am going to auto-update your phone tonight and blow away all your settings. Have a great morning. Hope you wrote down all those numbers that called you in the last week and all the texts you received..

Now back to setting up my phones ringtones..
