Just one more reason to think twice before an OS upgrade.
I never recommend upgrading the OS unless there is functionality that you must have or the upgrade fixes a problem that you specifically have. If it isn't broken, there is no need to fix it.

Darnit, that sucks.
I'm one of those strange people that likes to keep his computer/phone/programs/etc up to date all the time so I guess I'm just weird.
Oh well.

I don't lose the programs, just the program data, like accounts in BeeJive messenger and Gmail programs. It's just annoying to reset options when I update the phone, that's all. Now that I know there's no other way, I'll just keep updating and manually resetting everything.
