Memory in phone wiped out:

[mellow]

Turned on the phone yesterday morning, and the first thing I saw was that the wallpaper had reverted back to the original one the phone came with. Date and time were also screwed up, couldn't speed dial anymore, although the numbers are still in there. Music is no longer in the music player, photos gone. Hooked the USB to the PC to explore, but a message appeared saying that it needs to be formatted. If I reformat will I loose the rest of what's left in there, and therefore the functionality of the phone?

Not sure if this'll do it but i was on another forum earlier and saw this,

If the phone completely crashes/freezes, you can perform a 'hard reboot' by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously until the phone restarts and the Apple logo appears. (Note: This will NOT wipe the data from the phone)

Don't format, take out the memory card check contacts replace, often will work again. Byw next time back up your phone
