How does app backup work on Windows Phone? On iOS it's done to iTunes and on Android it's done through the Google cloud. Is there app backup on Windows Phone? What if I would had to reset my phone....any chance of getting it back to the previous state?

Sorry, I don't have a Windows Phone yet....which is why I might sound stupid with these questions.
 
if you hard reset your phone or change phone you lose ALL saved data!
meaning if your on lvl 40 of angry birds , your starting back at lvl 1.

MS said they are working on a SAVE system for the skydrive , should be in later this year.

but you can get an app called : REINSTALLER that can help you re-instal all the apps/games you previously downloaded.

ZUNE on your PC also keeps track of all the games/apps that you previously paid for / downloaded.
 
I think your example of Angry Birds is an issue with all devices, not only WP.

However, I would love it if MS enabled backup of apps to SkyDrive. That would seal the deal. :-)
 
yeah me too , and we are NOT alone lol , its one of the TOP suggestion on the MS suggestion site , so im expecting it at lease for Apollo! but its an easy 6months away :(
 
Backing up the phone is one thing Apple does right. It's nice to get a new phone and sync it to your computer or the cloud and have everything be just like it was. On android all of your apps are supposed to automatically download once you sign in to your google account, but it never worked like that on my droid. At least on Windows Phone I can go online and see what apps I used and download them again.
