Perfect response imho.
Can't help but wonder what he thought would happen to his data if he lost his phone?

That's a tough way to learn the lesson

Actually it happened to me in Seville, I'd logged everything daily from Bilbao but then had my phone stolen. I couldn't have cared less, I wasn't interested in the the boring stats anyway, it was only my riding partner who made me log stuff.

He got £144 for it though. I wonder if I can set up a surrepticious backup somewhere and then claim EE have lost all my data.

Galaxy's have built in Google access. Everything's backed up there. Assuming the user sets it up.

Uses looses data after being told duff info (Who trusts what the shops say anyway) Blames O2.

but there is no real reason for them to go "factory reset"... I'd read this more like "shop doesnt know arse from elbow but claims it does to customer"

but yeah, youd have *thought* he'd have written stuff to some sort of server/somewhere

It's a message that's repeated so often there's no excuse for not having acted over backup earlier.

TheDoctor is right. (#2)
