Yea you would lose everything. You might be able to update on your own by going to the HTC website, I did that for 6.1 and I know AT&T didn't send out the update until months after that.

Quick Question:
Do Android phones sync to the computer like iPhones? That's one thing I loved about the iPhone if I ever lost someones number I can just resync it from my last sync and I'll be back at where I was.
BTW pre-ordered my Evo...

Among a list of features that the next generation Android Froyo 2.2--widely expected to be announced at Google I/O conference next week--is expected to bring, the performance improvements seem mind-blowing with early reports showing that the build is 450% faster than Android 2.1
Other features expected for Android 2.2 include full Flash support as well as a new WiFi and USB tethering feature.

[h4]Google changes Nexus One plans, will stop selling handsets online[/h4]
By Nilay Patel
Breaking News
Although Google launched the Nexus One with grand plans to radically change the way consumers purchased phones and service, it looks like the experiment has fizzled to an end -- the company just announced that will eventually stop selling handsets online and instead partner with carriers to sell the N1 in-store while using its website to promote "a variety of Android phones available globally." Google says customers simply want a hands-on experience before buying a phone, but we'd say the lack of subsidies from any carrier except T-Mobile and some serious customer service issues probably played in killing Google's original sales strategy -- and of course, both Verizon and Sprint essentially refused the N1 in favor of the bespoke Incredible and EVO 4G. We'd also say that Android as a whole will remain unaffected, since the Nexus One was never a huge seller, but it's still rare that a company simply gives up a business model like this, and we don't know if Google will ever follow up with a successor to the Nexus One. The Google Phone is dead, people -- long live the Google Phone.
Update: We just asked Google about future devices and support for current Nexus One owners, here's what they said:
Damn you ain't lying that's mad easier. Thanks for the quick reply. One other thing does Android have that same mail system as the iPhone where I can have 3 emails pre-loaded and at the touch of a button check them?Originally Posted by NKEAIR

nope, its different (and a better way IMO)
when you first get an android, you log in with a gmail account
then all your data is stored on gmail (gmail acts like your itunes), so you can log on your computer and just edit your contacts on gmail and your calendar
so theres no need to ever connect your android phone to a computer (unless you want to put files on there like music) but yeah thats how it works
lets say down the line, you want a new android phone, when you get it, you log on your gmail account with that phone, then android syncs with your gmail account and all your data is downloaded

As we delve deeper into what current Silverlight programmers are up to in exploring Windows Phone 7, a few things are becoming evident:
Case in point is this "sample" app (e.g. something someone whipped up in very little time to explore the framework): geoGallery.
- Generally speaking, they love it
- It's easy
- There's lots of development and excitement amongst the community
Another is this Twitter app from Governor Technology. They seem to be keen on actually building this, so may be worth to keep an eye on at this very early stage. (And lets not forget Twikini's WP7 app).
We're confident in stating that WP7's development framework is going to give a huge kick in the pants to software offerings in the Marketplace. In other words, we haven't seen this much interest from developers since the iPhone and Android SDK days.
Check out the video of geoGallery in action and how it all works from Silverlight developer Levente Mihály. And Levente? Go ahead and submit that to the Marketplace, kthxbai!

A lot of the article is insider baseball, but it's more architecture than programming, so it's okay for even the part-time geek to understand . He focuses on how WP7 handles memory, background operations, suspending and resuming software, etc.
Really interesting stuff.
The big news though is what he reveals as possible with WP7. Some choice quotes to demonstrate:

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point, the Sprint Evo 4G has been handled every which way to Sunday -- not that it's some big secret or something. But there still are a few odds and ends to clean up. One of them is the retail box, which we see above. Also confirmed is that the Evo's shipping with an 8GB microSD card, which is darn nice of Sprint. Handful of more pics after the break.

big deal, so just get da HTC droid incredible...
i don't understand da rumble with cats...its pretty easy, if u got sprint get da EVO4G, if u got verizon get da HTC incredible, if u on t-mobile get da nexus one.
each of em got pros over eachother, but essentially they're all running gig processors wit super phone abilities.
