Ok this is getting extremely ridiculous...
First off there is some sort of incompatibility with XP64, AS, and my Touch... it doesn't connect successfully but maybe 20% of the time. Then when it does connect it locks up either my desktop or the phone.
Secondly, as a result of the above problem I can't sync my contacts with Outlook. I was lucky the first time I did a hard reset and was able to recover my contacts with no problems...
However, after installing BatterStatus Today Plugin found here:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatterySt..._WM5_iM_cs.htm, activated some of the extra options to let me see the power consumption and some other things. As soon as I clicked OK and attempted to make my way back to the Today Screen it froze. I soft reset 3 times, only to have my phone freeze on the today screen.
WHY DOES WINDOWS MOBILE NOT SHIP WITH A BUILT-IN SAFEMODE? I SERIOUSLY HATE BILL GATES WITH A PASSION...

Not only do I not have my USB cable with me, but even if I did it's no use since the phone is frozen on boot. On top of that, I now have to re-enter all 200 of my contacts by hand. I have to reinstall my apps.... I have lost my email/sms along with all of the apps I had installed.
This crap just always seems to spring on you on the most unexpected day, which usually happens to be the worst day...
