Everything is wiped on the phone, like starting all over again so best to get some backup software for yout programs or you'll have to download them again from the market.

You SD card is left alone so you do't have to worry about that.

so all my numbers will get deleted from the phone but not the sim card.
and what does the update do? any new features or not.

I've updated the ROM and now I've got no mobile signal or internet. Turns out there's a mast out in my area!! A lad at work on tmob also hasn't got a signal! Seems crazy that this happened just as I updated but it seems to be true.

So now I can't finish the setup or anything! I'm waiting til the signal comes back and I'll flash to ROM again so I can answer all the initial setup questions.

Bad luck or what!!

Well I updated the ROM with no hassles or anything.

Backed up all my stuff with MyBackup and have noticed that it hasnt saved all of the apps that i had on the phone at the time...and now that i have restored from the save i made previously, the app store doesnt register any of the apps i now have sitting on the phone....ARG.

Aside from that slight annoyance, its just the slog to get things back to the way they were....irony i think. Update something, then try to get it back to the way it was!
