Remember to backup before you upgrade

Good point, contacts can be backed up to SD card or synced with SE or Google. You texts can be backed up to your SD card.

I use Appbrain to keep a list of my apps, ready for reinstalling afterwards altho I'm guessing that a good number of them I will need to source the 2.1 version.

What else is in the phone memory that I have forgotten?

this is going to be a a pain in the arse tho. u will also have to redo the contact pics and facebook links, apps reinstall, bluetooth pairing, wifi codes, ringer setting, handcent settings, alarm settings.....etc etc etc etc. to name but a few!!

But i want the 720p hd recording and some of the 2.1 apps and move to SD! it will take me around 6hrs to reinstall and rejig my x10i desktop!

Ah well, at least i dont really have to "work" in my place of employment!! lol

Root and install Titanium Backup, backup everything, then once 2.1 is installed, reroot and restore.

So I was. Astro should be able to according to some, give that a try instead, but not sure if it's as thorough as TB but you can try it for nothing. Or try installing the root app using the Sideload Wonder Machine

Thanks, I do have Astro and it gives me the "can't install apps...that arent from Market" error.

I did try the Sideload Wonder Machine, but it does not show my phone in the list of devices. No serial of the phone or anything. :thinking: SOunds like I'm on the right path but the options arent working.

Just to clarify, you had already downloaded Astro via the Market but when you tried to install it you're getting the error message?

Well that Im not sure. My buddy who does a lot of phone tweaking got it into my phone. I am unsure if he DL'ed it or physically put it onto my phone in the SD card etc. I can look for it again on the market.

Edit: it does appear that I got it through the Market.
