I know this is too late and you've experienced it, but I'm just chimming in to add some support to your claim to backup your data and how Windows Mobile does Exchange.

As the original poster and others have stated, back up your data religiously, of course.

The main reason I posted was to bring the hidden part (or at least less noticed) of your story to light. If you have your Windows Mobile phone paired with Exchange 2003 or 2007 the admin can set a max number of incorrect logins before a hard reset occurs. Unlike a traditional hard reset which leaves your Storage Card intact this security wipe will ALWAYS format the Storage Card as well.

As a result, I'd recommend you use the recovery password (if your admin allows it) or pull the card out and back up the data (provided it isn't encrypted by the phone) before maxing out your incorrect logins. Even taking the card out on the last attempt is enough to save your info (sans encryption).
