Hey everyone,
I don't wanna bring people down, but if you're replacing an older Android device (or any Android device, for that matter) with a Droid X, get ready to lose all of your application data like high scores, notes in notepads, passwords in password keepers, etc.
Google does not have a way to move all of that information to a new or replacement device unless you're on 2.2...and the X is only on 2.1. I am looking forward to getting my Droid X, but am NOT looking forward to writing down all of my notes and passwords and other options down onto a piece of paper.
I've had to do it once before, and I thought My Backup Pro would save me...well, it doesn't. Actually, My Backup Pro is not a good program in that it installs your applications from an SD card and not from the Market, meaning the Market doesn't recognize the apps on your device and will not prompt you for updates to you apps...ever.
I wish Google had a nice, easy way to transfer EVERYTHING from one Android device to another, kind of like Blackberry's Desktop Manager. I wish Google had a desktop application just so we can backup everything to a safe location and not just the "cloud".
**** you, Google. I'll buy the X, but I won't like it.
Ok, I will like it...but I won't like transferring everything.
