Note To Self: Read The FAQ First



I got a bright idea last night and decided to update my phone's operating system from Windows Mobile 6 to WM 6.1 . More bells and whistles, smoother web surfing, ect, ect. One minor problem, it erased all my contacts and almost every program I had loaded on the phone.

Ugh... I feel about as smart as the guy that came up with "Let's move Leno to primetime!"

My Motorola Q 9h truly is my Personal Digital Assistant. I rely on it to remember appointments, passwords, combinations, birthdays, anniversaries, you name it. Now it's all gone... poof! Fortunately, I do have most of the info I need for work written down somewhere in a notebook that I haven't seen in a couple years. The rest isn't written down or saved anywhere.

I also lost the GPS programs, registry editor, maps, apps and bookmarks. I thought everything was backed up on my pc with Sync. I was wrong. I have it backed up on my old pc (the one with a fried hard drive). For the next few days I will be starting over from scratch entering all those names and numbers and reconfiguring my emails. So if you don't get a call from me, it's nothing personal. I lost your number. No, really!

  1. It's what happens when we take something that originally had one function (telephone) and try to make it into a swiss army knife. Sorry to say, but asking a phone to do anything else other than simply transmit and receive voice communication is pushing it, IMHO.
