Actually it isn't. Are the apps you bought stored in the cloud? What about your text messages? Not only that, if you transfer contacts from an old phone (like I did) they are not stored as Google contacts. Only new contacts are stored as Google contacts. What about the placement of your icons, bookmarks, passwords?

As I said, works fine here. YMMV. >> MyBackup actually makes backup a snap (should have included that too), >> plus my Google data is in the cloud, and thus readily available to any >> connected device. > >Actually it isn't. Are the apps you bought stored in the cloud? Yes, because I back them up to SD card (which iPhone lacks) and computer and then to the cloud, where I keep backups of all important files. Plus I can just download them again from the Market. >What about your text messages? Yes, Google Voice.

Only new contacts are stored as Google contacts. *All* my contacts, old and new, are stored as Google Contacts in the cloud, because I *merge* contacts from other sources. You should try it. >What >about the placement of your icons, bookmarks, passwords? MyBackup preserves the Home screen and bookmarks. My passwords are managed with KeePass, and also saved in the cloud. Anything else? -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups." [Wethern�s Law of Suspended Judgement]
