You are on the right track! I purchased a 700P off ebay without the disk. I used the software that came with my Palm TX and haven't had ant software problems. Most of the good stuff is in firmware.
I wish I had a disk for the Treo 700P to see if I am missing something! I have been looking on ebay! When you Hotsync the treo the first time be sure to use a different NAME. After you have it running you can install programs from the OLDNAME Backup files. I have my 700Ploaded and have found only a couple programs that ran on my TX that will not run on the 700P Leland Cox --- In [email protected], Jeff Fort <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Need the group's input and advice.
