What Happens When You Recover Your Pre From Backup?

I was in the (un)fortunate position to have to recover my data from my Pre.  Last Friday, I had to go to get my Pre replaced because I wasn’t getting any sound from the headset.  At any rate, it was by far the coolest experience ever.  When the new Pre turned on, it asked me to log into my Palm account.

Once I entered in my email address and password it started the recovery process.  Everything came back as far as my settings, and applications I downloaded but some things didn’t come back.  I lost all of my text message conversations as well as losing my photos/videos.

I say all this to say that while backing up your device and Synergy are great ideas, it can definitely get bettery.
