Confused ???

[kemptont]

Have been wanting the GPS functionality of my ALLTEL PPC6800 for awhile now. Just have not wanted to brick my phone. So today I am on the HTC.com website and find that they have a software update to
Rom:3.35.671.9
Radio:3.37.20

But no link on the site for the RUU. Has all these warnings about syncing your files. Well I installed Windows Mobile Device Center and attempted to sync. Phone kept erroring out saying it could not reach exchange server. Well i dont have email on my phone so i unchecked the option of syncing email. Attempt to sync again.

Pop up asks me if failures occur which do i decide:
Receive on my phone
Keep on my phone

I chose keep on my phone and sync completes!

Files from My Documents, Pictures, Ringtones and Videos are synced. NO CONTACTS. AND NOW ALL CONTACTS ON MY PHONE ARE ERASED!!!!!! WTF

Is there a way to restore my 240+ contacts?
And where is the real like for the rom and radio upgrade for ALLTEL?
