So as I asked is all of your stuff (phone numbers, music, pictures, etc.) stored in non-volatile storage or when you get it back with the new battery is it as empty of all that stuff as it was the day you bought it? And if it is stored "permanently" what is to stop Apple or the third party from copying all your data while they have your iPhone and selling it to spammers or giving it to the D*partm*nt of H*m*land S*cur*ty? -- Ronn! :) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
