Essential software before upgrading to Windows Mobile 2005?

[Leynard]

This is my first post and I must say that I'm totally impressed with the works of the guys here at this forum.

A couple of questions come to mind though before making that plunge to join in on the Windows Mobile 2005 bandwagon...

1. What is the best software (if any) to use to make a full device backup (including games, contacts, etc)

2. Is there a program that does an image of any XDA device (kinda like Norton Ghost) so that reverts can be done easily?

3. If there is no way to backup the device 100%, is there a way to save game progress (like bejeweled) so that when I upgrade to WM2005 and do a fresh install of games my game progress will be just when I left it?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Ciao :D

I did some digging and eventually came to Sprite software's backup program.

After reading the reviews, it seems that this is the best program to have. Any of you guys tried this one yet? Any feedbacks?

Here's the company's URL: http://www.spritesoftware.com/en/index.htm

the best way to backup is to use activesync and then reinstall everything you need...
Otherwise you'll run into problems..

Thanks.

Quick question though, What about my game files (im playing bejeweled and am at level 138 - endless mode) will these also be backed up via Activesync?
