I am on holiday and want to upgrade from the unofficial 2.0 to official however it's not got any of my music apps etc on this computer if i upgrade will i use all my data accept contacts due to the mobileme etc?
 
I heard that 2.0 was a different update than the rest, its like a fresh install update that deletes everything from before. Not sure if this is true, but may want to check before upgrading 2.0.
 
thinking about it doesnt it backup data when upgrading now :S?

edit same as above thats why I want to know.

I lost all my contacts after the upgrade to 2.0. I have not synced my iphone in qutie a while and I think I am SOL. I expected it to do a sync before upgrading to 2.0 and bring it all back. That did not happen. I got some contact which were many many months old ( have a hunch it was older than the last time I sync'd though not sure ). Foolish me for leaving it all to automatically do things. This is quite bad.
 
I too lost all my contacts after upgrading to 2.0 is there any way to get them back???? This is a must for my job.....please help thanks:apple:

Why can't you retrieve your contacts from your computer's backup drive? I always backup data that is critical for my job.

IIRC, to go from unofficial to official release you have to restore and will lose everything
