OK, thanks for the updated information on the Tilt. It's good to know that
it has persistent memory. I guess I'm in the habit of backing everything up
to the micro SD card every week or so. The main reason is in case the phone
is lost. I have a copy on my laptop of everything on my SD card, so I can
restore it all to a new phone, if necessary.
