Something went wrong while syncing yesterday, and my phone ended up needing to be reset. No big deal, I just went back to my last backup, which was that day. But, I lost all my internet bookmarks, and all my voice notes and shazam tags. The last two really suck. Any idea how to recover these things? I know the iPhone is supposed to be a gateway and get me to buy other apple stuff, but I'm gettng more and more turned off to apple...

Try restoring from that same backup again. I went through similar this weekend when I jailbroke and then decided there wasn't enough out there for me to want to stay jb'd. I had to do a full factory reset twice followed by restoring from backup in order to get things working right. I have my safari bookmarks but lost some data in other programs.
The Shazam stuff is gone ... not part of the data backed up. I don't know about the voice notes but I thought the bookmarks were saved. Check your settings on your computer and synch again.

Yeah, just look at the issues people have with Apples and then compare them to daily maintenance on Microsoft stuff.

The buildings I support are basically a 50/50 split. I warranty more Apple than MS/Dell. Support calls are basically even.
I spend several hundred percent more time on MS stuff just trying to keep it running than I do any of my Apple stuff.
Granted iPhones are different, but when I have to do any Apple work it's generally been so long since I've done that same thing I've forgotten how.
My new 3GS iphone has some sensitivity issues, anyone else have those? The touch screen on my old iPhone required a flesh contact to make it work, but my new phone makes phone calls from inside my pocket with no flesh contact at all. It's embarrasing when your butt calls someone.

Yes - sometimes mine is tempermental as well, but with the opposite problem: it fails to react to touch.
I think that it is a temperature sensitivity issue more than anything. I've noticed that it doesn't require "flesh" contact (will work through a thin barrier such as a tissue), but, for example, if I don't remove my phone from it's case - the case holds the phone just far enough away from my face that the call gets dropped.
As for your butt calling someone (boy am I going to regret this one) - you must have a hot butt!
Back on topic - the iphone is a much more sophisticated device, but my Treo was rock-solid reliable and the iphone is quirky - sometimes it just does weird stuff for no reason.
Well, after resyncing, twice, I'm back to where I was. Happily, all my shazam, bookmarks and voice recordings are still there. Thanks for the help!
yay apple.

Huh, mine works just fine as a phone, though I do live in a city versus outer Mongolia so there is usually signal available.

It's actually Joeys voice mail message.
I inherited my wife's 1st gen iPhone after she upgraded to a 3Gs. Best damn phone/device I have ever owned. It beats every other phone I have ever had, hands down, bar none. Is it perfect? No, but what is.
life is much simpler when all the phone does is place calls...
thank God I'm not important enough to need to be connected in every different way imaginable to man...
