Awesome review from My-Symbian.com. Big up! I am eagerly awaiting the full review, as I am a bit worried about the battery-life.

I have a question somewhat related to a paragraph in the preview:

One important thing worth mentioning is that the Backup application, even though it has an option to backup "Application list", does NOT backup the actual installed software. It only stores information about installed applications (name, repository which it was installed from, version, etc) and then based on this information it tries to re-install it from the repositories.
I was wondering if someone knew if there were any ways (perhaps from third parties) to create images of your phone? Similar to Norton Ghost for computers? The thing is I am kind of a linux n00b, and have on occasion been known to break my linux-box, and forced to reinstall. Incremental backups would therefore be a good solution in case I suddenly do something stupid (which, let's face it, is inevitable).
