    All true, the upgrade wipe the phone but not the Media Card, if you have one. That's the bad news. The good news is that the process does a full Backup first and then a Restore after the upgrade so you will not lose anything.

    I always do a Sync to OUtlook first and then a Backup. I also keep very little data in Device Memory. Even this data is duplicated on my Media Card.

    If you do nt understand what I have said, then you should not yet attemot an upgrade. If this is the case, then hang around here and read a few posts, you'll get there.

    Everything on the memory card will still be there. The upgrade takes about 30 minutes total.

    Lke I said, I keep copies of my current ringtones on my Media Card so you should copy them before you start the upgrade and then copy them back if needed. The uprade process should handle this though.
