Agreed. I did a PIM restore and it corrupted the messenger email app. Then I started getting something like grew.exe and devices.exe crashes at random times. I was able to recover by doing this. 1) backup all; 2) hard reset; 3) backup PIM (blank PIM database after hard reset); 4) restore all; 5) restore PIM (the blank database). This wiped out the PIM database and my X51v is happy again.
