i know that its risky.. i'll bettr take ur advice and take it to priority center...
during flashing complete mem is erased.. i know that phonebook and calender entries can be backup'd but what abt messages, i mean sms'es.. and is there nyway to backup the registry so that the licensed softwares which are on my sd card don't ask for reinstallation after flashing...

When i do *123# to see balance on N3250 it just restarts and sometimes when the keypad is twisted to open camera the phone hangs(but sometomes)I think these are bugs in version 3.2X.
