Network functions on my N900 died, backed it up with backupmenu, backed up the emmc and microsdhc files after. Handed it in, turned out the phone was irreparable.

Got a new N900 for free today, despite warranty being long gone and not having it insured (yay):

- charged the battery
- did a firmware flash to 1.3 and emmc flash (both prolly not needed)
- installed rootsh
- installed backupmenu
- restored emmc and microsdhc files
- restored rootfs and optfs with backupmenu

Got a new phone now with identical settings to those before. All in a matter of 2 hours or so. Backupmenu rocks! :)

My only concern is Sygic Mobile Maps being regged to the device id of my old phone. Bad luck with that :).
