How do I back up my stuff?

Doing a warranty exchange with T-Mobile because of the squeaky hinge issue. Anyone know if there's a way to back everything on the phone up so when I get the new one I don't have to reinstall/reconfigure EVERYTHING? My phone settings, my applications, the applications settings, etc. I just want my phone to keep on going as if nothing ever changed if that's possible.

Any ideas? Anyone had a successful experience doing this?

Thanks :)
 
I'm not entirely sure you can do all of that.

Astro which is in the market will allow you to back up your market applications but not the settings

Contacts etc are synced with your gmail account anyway so no problem there along with your calendar.

When I wiped my handset the other night I went back into the market and under my downloaded apps all the ones I had downloaded were showing so just reinstalled.

I must admit with the G1 it's a lot less painful feinstalling stuff than what it it with other handsets I have owned
