Sure Am Glad I Had iCloud "Backup" My Data

I'm the opposite, I am more and more becoming dismayed with Android, in particular, 2.3. I cannot stand my phone. I detest it. Texting is a pain, typing something is a pain, going on the internet is a pain. It rarely gets SMS's without me texting first, it seems the phone keeps a backlog of messages that it does not bother to tell me about until I send another message, which can get confusing. Every damn thing is p*ssing me off with it. I had to install a new SMS program on my phone, because it seems that the one that is part of Android takes on average 2-3 minutes to send a message if your inbox has a few thousand messages in it. Takes about 3 seconds with the different SMS program I use. Browsing takes an age whether it is on WiFi or "3G" (which barely seems faster then 2G anyway). I used an iPhone a few times recently and I am very impressed with it. It works smoothly, page scrolling dosent make me want to throw it at a wall, texting just works. I shouldnt need to have to install a ton of alternatives to the stock programs, if I've paid a load of money for it then I want it to be usable and reliable, with the option of installing something new if I like.

Ah. That may be the difference - I'm on 4.2.1!
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

I hope it did the backup before it trashed the list... I must admit, I get more and more impressed with Android and it's integration with Chrome. If I add a bookmark on my desktop PC, it shows up on my Tablet!

It appears not. Guess I'll be digging through my junk bin to find my old phone. :|

Ouch! :doh: My opinion of Apple product quality has not improved...again. You poor bugger - this is why I spend so much time making all my devices talk to a central repository, which gets backed up each day.

Those few cats with owners willing to buy their cats pyjamas (or pajamas, or however you spell it) probably get really nice ones. P(y|a)jamas, that is.

This highly scientific diagram[^] leads me to answer, "Yes, bees do in fact have knees."

Maybee. Those aren't strictly knees, though - beecause they are more like extra elbows. Where's the knee cap?

I just installed the latest iOS (6.1) on my iPhone, and after it installed it went through a configuration screen, which setup backups to iCloud for me. The process seems to have deleted all of the phone numbers from my contact list (and it looks like it deleted some contacts entirely). And it seems I'm not the only one. I guess this is their way of actively testing out the feature to make sure it works? :doh: :mad:
I must be using up all of my luck. Updated both iPhone and iPod last night and nothing at all went wrong. Didn't lose anything.

I updated and did not have this problem.

Were you presented with a configuration screen during which you setup iCloud?

And I was expecting for my data to not be erased. Guess we have both too high of expectations. :rolleyes:

I did that to my wife's iPhone this afternoon. I neither know nor care if it caused any problems. It wasn't working properly beforehand either, I've not noticed any difference in the levels of complaining.

Maybe Apple decided that since all your contacts didn't also have iPhones that you shouldn't be talking to them, because they don't meet Apple's strict contact guidelines.
Seems to be some sort of collaboration between Facebook and Apple to screw me over. I see all my Facebook contacts, but none of them have any of their phone numbers.
