I bought a Nokia 770 yesterday, and spent the ENTIRE day reading the manual (yes, I'm one of THOSE people) and getting every possible setting configured exactly the way I wanted it.

Then I found (http://www.nokiausa.com/support/phon...61,770,00.html) that there's a software update I should install.

NOWHERE did it mention that installing this update was going to wipe out everything in the memory, until I was already deep into the process.

Well, at that point, it told me to do a backup, and it implied that restoring the backup was going to take care of everything. How gullible was I? I believed it, and went ahead with the process.

Not true! And I really don't think the company should do such a thing to a person without warning them and letting them DECIDE whether to take that risk or not. We should have been TOLD that the backup/restore was not going to take care of everything.

All the Maemo applications I had installed and configured were gone, and the ENTIRE list of Application Catalogs I had entered was gone, and some browser settings, and I don't remember how much else.

Is there any way to backup and restore whatever files hold those settings, since the Nokia 770 backup/restore only did a lot, not all, of the settings?

(What's weird is that once I reinstalled VNC Viewer and Maemo Mapper, they still remembered their old settings.)
