Welcome to DF!!

As shadez said make sure to check out the hacks section in that link. Make sure to stick around a while and ask questions when you have them.

Princess is right about z4. I completely forgot to comment on that once I hit reply, sorry about that. And as far as backing up goes it depends on what you want to backup. For message I use SMS Backup and Restore and for apps etc I use Titanium Backup.
