Checklist for Restoring iPhone

What to check after you do a iPhone restore. (In my case because I am afraid of 1.1.2)
- custom wallpaper (when phone is locked)
- contacts- are they all there? are contacts syncing with the right source?
- photos- photos there? do contacts have the right photo ID assigned? syncing with correct folder? is your camera roll still in place? what about the photo library?
- music/video/podcasts- is it there? (I had to upload it all again)
- bookmarks- still there? (probably lost browser history though)
- notes- these should have been restored from Itunes’ backup. were they?
- custom ringtones- are they there? and correctly assigned?
- email- did this work proper? (I use mobile gmail through safari instead)
- stock picks- are the right companies showing?
What won’t be there-
- Apollo IM
- NES games
Overall my restore went really well, almost perfectly. I did have to manually tell the Itunes to put my music and photos on the phone and I had to set my contacts to Windows Address Book (it defaulted to Outlook), but past that things are looking good.
