Not unless something goes real wrong during the update. My address book
(including voice dial and per-user ringtones), stored SMS messages,
shortcuts, and GetItNow apps remained intact. Some of the customization
options, such as the default ringtones for the Loud/Soft/etc profiles
were reset, as was were the icons on the main menu. The tech who did
my update said that they specifically upload the phone book/etc to the
flash computer before doing the update, in case the update (which is
SUPPOSED to preserve this stuff) bombs.

I had mine upgraded last week. I lost all settings, but not the
address book.

The one drawback I've seen is that it appears to try too hard to hold
onto a digital signal. The local tower is being flakey and my T730 is
jumping between signal and no signal. My wife's, which has not been
upgraded, his sticking with Analog.

Thanks.
