anyway, just thought I'd give you all heads up, managed to sort it out. I had to go to settings/applications/manage applications. find internet and then click on clear data. after that I was able to add the same bookmarks I had before the factory reset. now I have one more problem, my gameloft HD games have disappeared from my store. And when I go on their website and click on my downloads, it shows I didn't download any games. I'll try emailing gameloft and hope they can sort me out because I'd paid for something like 6 of their games.
