What's the best way to back up all my apps so when I switch replacement phone they will be there?

[mykaraokedj]

is there and app that does this or what is th best way?

If I were you, I would just load them fresh from the market. It's a lot of work, but it rules out existing apps with issues or issues caused by the transfer.

Otherwise, ASTRO File Manager is an app I use to back up apps. I think most people use AppBrain.

I use MyBackup, it does a wonderful job....

You come through again, wildman. MyBackup is what I was trying to think of. I use Astro, so it skipped my mind.

Glad I could help...

The "best" way is Titanium Backup, but you probably don't have that option available. Before I took my phone to the dentist, I used ASTRO file manager to back up the Apps themselves and for many apps there's a built in backup/restore function for application settings, so I used those. Anything without those, I just set it back up after reinstalling.

It is that thing you can do to your phone, voids the warranty, and the word for it can't be used on this forum.
