My iPhone just randomly stopped working

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has been having this problem.
What happened was, when i was listening to music on my iStation at home the music randomly stopped, i thought i maybe the iStation stopped working but it turned out that my iPhone had stopped working. I tried to turn the iPhone back on but it didn't work.
After freaking out for about twenty minutes the screen turned on. It was the screen that appears the first time the iPhone is turned on saying to connect it to iTunes. I did this and restored it and it's working now but i lost many new contacts and many important calender dates.
Just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if i should be worried that it will do it again.
Thanks

Iphone 3G, iOS 4

Apart from anything else, you should make sure that important things that calendar entries and contacts are properly backed up. There is no need to lose data even if the phone explodes.

I suggest subscribing to mobile me because when you enter a new contact or calendar event it automatically goes to the mobile me server and when you do have to restore your phone those contacts come back as soon as you enter your mobile me information. That was great when I upgraded to the IP4 because until I got home I had all my contacts on my phone without syncing to my computer.
