How can I get back built-in apps that I accidently deleted

I was trying to make some room on my phone (myTouch 2) and in the process completely screwed up my phone... I can't answer when someone is calling, my caller id is gone, I have no notifications on the main screen or the top of the screen. Is there anyway to fix what I've done??

Factory reset.

Factory reset can't be worse than a phone that doesn't work. Hopefully you can back up your files first.

Yes. As I discovered AFTER resetting, you lose your SMS messages. If you have a PC they can apparently be recovered if you don't write over the storage space, but there are one or two apps you can download before resetting for backup and restore of SMS. Call log is lost too....not sure about getting that back.

(Also - and please have this laugh on me - the reset, to improve battery life, made no lasting difference.)
