Thanks for starting this thread because it allows me to ask a noob question. The Epic Touch 4G was my first Android phone coming from webOS. With webOs when your Pre failed (I went through 4 of them) and they gave you a new one it would automatically download and install all your purchased apps after you logged your Palm account into the new phone, does android do this with apps bought from the Play Store? I guess the alternative would be going into the Play store and downloading them again manually one by one. I have all my contacts in Gmail so I'm not worried about those.
