Funny enough, i did create a backup on my p.c, however i'm not using it (not that sentimental to any data i dont have on my NAS, my laptop could tell you... i frequently format, dual boot & triple boot on the same drive )

& i dont just flash the firmware on my n900 when i do flash it (clocking 5 times now), I also flash the emmc as well so any phone saved backup is jolly well gone cuz you get an out of box (factory default phone)

only info i really need is my contacts & calender info anyway..which can be synced from my other phone or outlook...I enjoy the thrill of going through the motions of going for alternate apps to the ones i have had before (except some staples e.g categorise, )

p.s
you could get back to your "now playing" song on pr1.1 by pressing the little equalizer thingy in the same location as well.(i liked the equalizer thingy)
but at least media player now works as it used to before pr1.1 yipee..movie streaming is the shizzle!
