I understand that the new 2.1 update is likely to wipe out all of your current information on the phone (i.e. contacts, apps, photos, settings, email etc). I want to make sure that I do everything that I need to do to properly back everything up before the update and restore afterwards.
I was curious about tips to ensure that all contacts and apps are backed up. I use Astro and there is an option to back up apps to the SD card. I am assuming that once I do this, although Astro will evidently be deleted with the update, the app back up will remain on the SD card. Is this correct?
Also, as far as contacts are concerned, is this simply done using the HTC Sync software on my PC? Every time I use the sync software if just seems to add redundant contacts (I changed a setting last time that I think prevents this), but other than that I never see any additional direct contact management.
Looking for advice from folks who know how to properly back everything up so that I can do the OTA update and not have to go into a store to have it done. Thanks in advance for your help!
