Nice one!! And I'm SURE you didn't do that to position yourself for a Treo 800 sometime in the future . . .
A few more specifics will be needed to help you on how to fall back. Certainly you will want to uninstall everything and install the Zire software again. If you're using Outlook to sync with, you just sync. If you're using Palm Desktop you'll have to move the appropriate files from the username folder (having previously saved that, of course, before uninstalling) into the NEW username folder once you install the Zire stuff. The machinations needed to preserve Palm Desktop stuff are some of the several reasons I prefer Outlook. There is one caveat to the above, however: depending on which PalmOS your Zire has you may actually have to EXPORT calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, etc. from the Treo 650 version of the Palm Desktop and IMPORT them into the newly-installed Zire version of the Palm Desktop. I don't recall where the boundary was that required this, but I know it happened at some point. It would probably be easier if you just bought a 680 (GSM) or 700 (CDMA), though!! :-) Cheers, Don ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Girvin Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Treo] Ooooops! OK. I've done it...I dropped my Treo 650 in the toilet...I know, hahahahaha. Well, even though I was eyeing an upgrade I did NOT subconcsiously do this on purpose. I'm going back to the old way.....my trusty Palm Zire 72 and the cell phone (which is 3G and tetherable to my laptop so not too too bad but the lack of push email and instant gratification does grate my nerves)... My question is this... Do I have to uninstall the desktop software and start fresh? What is the best way to backup to an OLDER handheld? Thanks and your help is much appreciated.
