this may be a stupid question... it says everything will be erased including contacts, calendar, 3rd party apps, etc. Can I do a Sprite backup of everything and after the flash, reload the backup?

I would never reload a complete backup after a ROM flash; you might overwrite some fixed or changed system files. You can safely reload things like contacts/calendar/email - basically your user files.

Thanks for the warning. This is exactly what I'm afraid of. I guess I'll have to determine if the upgrade/changes is worth the time and effort to reinstall all my apps, and the registry tweaks.
