In my haste when giving my old Blackberry Bold 9000 to my mum I moved all my contacts over to my sim card, took it out along with the memory card (which has all my pictures music etc) and then preformed a security wipe.

To my horror i realised i'd forgotten to write down all the notes I had saved in memopad, and now these are gone, and they aren't on the memory stick so assuming they were on the phones internal memory.

All the phone has had done to it since mum got it has had the contacts copied from the SIM to the phone, not a text sent or a memopad note saved.

So i've tried using a program called GetDataBack to recover the lost data but can't seem to see anything.
Is this the wrong method or have I actually lost all my notes :(
 
Yeah the data for the Memopad is on the blackberry's internal flash memory; not the 1gb onboard on the Bold 9000 but the (256mb? I think?) internal memory for the software and apps.

But yes the security wipe will have made mincemeat of all of that. Sorry :(
