so I was fortunate in that I was able to sign back into the palm profile right away when I woke up this morning. I installed 1.2 yesterday with no problems, didn't have any active tweaks before, nor did I attempt any tweaks after the download. When I woke up this morning my phone simply said that my connection to my palm profile had been lost, and asked me to sign in...after which it gave me an option for erase and restart or just restart. I chose just restart, it signed back into palm profile and restored my pre to 1.2 factory defaults (changed wallpaper, removed wifi passwords, reset bluetooth connections). Though quite annoying, the experience was not all bad...I have not had to format my phone or exchange my pre prior to this, so this is what I found.

1. All calendar events came back perfectly except my flightview calendar
2. All contacts came back, but I have to reassign ringers. Photos were also reformatted to google version (low quality), so I have to change back to high quality.
3. All email accounts came back with appropriate settings without a problem
4. All app catalog programs were present
5. All homebrew apps/file coaster was lost
6. My flightview save flights were lost
7. My express stocks stock info was maintained
8. Wallpaper was changed
9. Bluetooth and to be re-paired
10. Wifi passwords were lost
11. Bookmarks on browser were lost (i thought this was supposed to be saved with the new update??)


Since I did not erase all data, all my pictures, memos were saved. Overall this was an annoyance, but did kind of show off the usefulness of palm's web integration, making things a lot easier. Obviously, would not tolerate this happening again, but it's nice to have this kind of integration, and really see it working. Oh...and my wife's phone that was not updated had no problems...definitely going to wait a couple days before the next update!
