I don't think updating from official channels leads to any data loss. But why take risk when you CAN backup everything?
Refer this post: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/1581140-post1015.html
For the sake of convenience, quoting it,
...Following are the ways you can take a backup of things in an Android:
Contact -> Through Google Sync, using inbuilt sync mechanism.
Messages -> Though SMS Backup+, which syncs all your messages on the cloud of Google very easily.
Call Logs -> Same as above ^^
Apps you download from market -> It already is backed up and can be seen by logging onto market.android.com and can be downloaded on any other device.
Pictures and Videos -> Just setup a Google Plus app, turn Instant Upload On, and watch as all the pics gets synced on albums in Picassal online! (Obviously, it remains private to you, until you feel the need to share it.)
You can go as far as backing up the whole Android OS (called ROM) onto your card using custom recoveries!

How ? Because in case I dont like ICS, I want to downgrade to 2.3 again.
This is another problem I am facing. My contacts in for email are different. When syncing, it also stores my email contacts in my phone. Sometimes its a mess.
For e.g, manoj@gmail.com in saved in my gmail as manoj kumar. The same person in my phone is saved as monoj motu. Now when I sync, In my phone contacts I get both manoj kumar and monoj motu.
For this you will have to go the "root" way.
First step is to root the device. Second is to install a custom Recovery like AmonRa. And then you can take a Nandroid backup, which backs up the current state of "complete ROM" of your phone.
That being said, I have no idea how it works on your particular handset, or does it "even" work successfully. You will have to research on XDA forums on your own by looking under appropriate sections.
Also you will have to realize that by doing so warranty of your card will be void and that it also have a minute chance to fail thereby bricking your device.
(Don't worry bricking cases are rare, but there "are".)
This is happening maybe because your phone is setup to show contacts for both your phone as well as your Google account.
Goto Contacts screen -> Display Options and you can select the sources from just where you want to see the contacts.
Cheers.

@Vyom,
Thank you
Yes, I am going to root it. But if I root it, will there be any data loss.
And I like typing sms from my PC using PC suite. I installed moborobo PC sute. The strange problem I am getting when using it is it shows wrong time for sms.
Suppose I sent a sms at time 22:45 using my phone. When I send another sms using moborobo at 22:45, my phone shows its time as 20:45.
Thank you

I am not exactly sure how can you group contacts in categories. But there must be some app to do it.
Although I don't need the feel of grouping contacts, since I can mark some contacts as Favorites and can view them at one place. Also, it keeps a separate list of Frequently contacted people. Quite handy for me.
Then check if there is some Time Zone setting in the PC suite. But I wont get my hopes high. All the best.

BTW Siri,Iris,Google Speech and Microsoft Speech Recognition all works perfectly fine for me.

I removed that crap using Moborobo PC suite. Its good and I can install app from a market place like tool in the PC suite.
There is some bug reading the sms time and I have reported it to the support team.

Hi, Believe it or not, I am getting bored with android. I am now thinking if I had bought a Nokia, I would have got a much better camera, GPS with voice nav and may be NFC. May be its because I dont know what app to install. So suggest me some nice apps. Donno wat to install and wat not to.

Moborobo PC Suite? never heard of it. Sony PC Suite?
Android gets boring fast. Just experiment around and you'll enjoy
thats the fun of having android.
and what will you do with NFC? touch the TV to change channel? or tap on the laptop to turn it off?
Go to Android play and check the app sections. just play around a bit with random apps
