I assume they came from the Palm backup, not Google. What didn't restore was contact ringtones. I was reasonably impressed.
BTW, the reason for the replacement was a defective *proximity sensor*, the thing that turns off the display and disable buttons while you have the phone to your face when on a call. It's up in the upper left corner of the Pre (about where the menu *key* is. Note that it only works if a call is active, and you're not Touchstoning. My Sprint store is a service facility and they have a Palm employee stationed there who they wake up when someone brings in a Pre. He knew some codes to bring up all kinds of diagnostics. They may be more of the ones of the format ##xxx# as has been published for GPS etc.
