There are two solutions for syncing tasks and notes with categories to the Pre. They both use wireless, they both can sync with Palm Desktop or Outlook, and neither require the cloud. I own them both. I also migrated from a 700p.
For $30, Classic, from MotionApps.com, is a PalmOS emulator, specifically the Centro. It supports many, but not all, existing Palm OS apps. The Pre touch screen is less accurate and sensitive than the Treo, so many of the programs are a little harder to use, but they did a very good job of making everything work as good as possible. And since webOS runs much faster than PalmOS ever did, apps run about twice as fast. For $40, PocketMirror, from Chapura.com, works with Outlook and supports WebOS's native Contacts and Calendar. Since category support doesn't exist with WebOS's Tasks and Memos, they wrote their own, Tasks and Notes. For syncing with Palm Desktop, they have Echo.

This is a major deal breaker unless I discover a solution to this dilemma. -----Original Message----- From: Vishal Sheth Which one r you planning to keep? -----Original Message----- From: George Kontos <[email protected] <mailto:georgekontos%40inficad.com> > Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 9:33 PM To: Treo List Yahoo <[email protected] <mailto:treo%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [Treo] Getting 2 Pre Pluses & 2 Pixi Pluses on Monday My son and I will be getting Pre Pluses from Verizon on Monday, and Verizon will be giving each of us a free Pixi Plus as part of a special introductory promotion. Not sure what to do with the extra phones. Keep them as backups I guess. I'm getting very excited about the new phone! Been using the 700p since 1996. Haven't had a new "toy" in a long time! :-) George [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
