May I ask where this information came from? I had no such issues with my Palm Pre, and this hasn't been reported on major sites like precentral.net.

Now that I know that, the iPhone is looking pretty good for that full discount AT&T is offering me for February 2010.

...since when did the industry standard for dealing with a backup failure become "delete the data we tried to back up and failed with a factory reset"? That really makes sense.

I really hope we don't get lots of gadgets that depends on phoning home to work..
