same happened to me... twice... when you click just restart you would think it would give you access to the USB otherwise whats the freakin point!!!

well to tell you the truth.. The first time I assumed I pressed the wrong button.. So I never contacted palm.. (I had backed up almost everything a few nights before. Now when I switch I set airplane moode first activate and than backup everything.
I hope there's a way. One thing I was thinking about is if there's a way to permanentl set the pre to DeV mode ON and than send a patch to automatically set it as a USB drive when connected. Or better yet send a command to the phone to just set it as a usb drive by default
