Well, the new firmware for my HTC Wizard seems to have alarms working reliably now, however I'm shocked at how easy it is to lose data.

When settings up a link with my new XP x64 machine I was told I had to delete a current relationship. Hence I deleted the relationship with the old Windows instance. I then found that SplashID has deleted all my saved data. Of course the only machine that data was synced with was my work machine (before the trial expired) and that relationship still existing. Arghhh!

And speaking of SplashID, for a program that is supposed to store your private and essential information it has arse all backup facilities. The only was to backup is to use the Windows client (which costs more). There's no data file on the device and while SpriteBackup says it backup up a database for it it contains sweet FA. Tech support say there is no way except for the Windows client. For the love of God...

So I've gone back to Ilium's eWallet. Fantastic software, easy to backup without a desktop PC and works a hell of a lot better. All kudos to Illium.
