All my Google Apps are gone now. Anyone else have this issue? When in Applications, the "Market" tab up on the right top does not do anything when pressed. I did a restart, same results. Any suggestions?

I have searched...but not found a definitive answer. I have spent the last three years paying Sprint $30/month to have wi-fi tethering. They just raised the price on me..so I dropped it. I *do not* want to root my phone, so if someone would be kind enough to point me to a tutorial on how to...
