Notes disappear iPhone 3G

Got caught without pen and paper at a lecture. Thought to just use my phone and just keep notes that I could forward to my laptop. Took them and looked for them two days later and they're gone. They're really important and I wonder if you found a way to retrieve? Also, is there a limit to the amount of notes you can take on one sheet/doc. Need to find these notes if possible. Thanks for any reply.

Having the same issue. When I email the notes to myself they show up. Not sure why I can't see them in Notes.

mine get emailed automatically (i never set that up, how to stop it?).the next day when i open notes, i can see them disappear.anybody got a handle on this??

Hi all,I would like to add my 2€ in here.I purchased an iPad 1 a few days ago and used Notes to type while away from home text I had to recover onto my PC later on.Yesterday, I was back. I synced my iPad and all notes were gone... you can imagine my feelings ! (actually this is the very reason why I arrived in this forum).Then, understanding nothing said above and in many other topics on this touchy subject, I decided to go and read my 115 email (Google Mail).SURPRIZE, all my disappeared notes were in my email folder on my PC I went to the NOTES setup on the iPad and noticed that the default account setting was set to my Google email account. Why I did that when I bought the iPad, no idea, but the fact is that, at SYNC time, my iPad sent all my notes to my email account, then deleted them. No harm done, they are now on my PC...Just to provide some "blue sky" to those who will arrive in this thread one day, all their Notes gone !
