transfering from Palm to Pocket PC

MickeyC · 11-28-05, 02:36 PM

I have an old palm m505 that I replaced with an x3i because even though it would charge, the palm would not sync with my desktop. Is it possible to beam my palm contacts to my pocket PC? I haven't actually tried but Im willing to give it a shot.

If they both have IR, then you should be able to beam the contacts.

Yes, I beamed from a T3 to a X50V. Be aware that the fields may not map exactly as you would expect, especially from an older (i.e.: M505) PDA. In any case, you might want to perform some edits afterwards to, for example, change how area codes are displayed. You may prefer 800-555-1212 or (800) 555-1212.

I've beamed from my X50v to my wife's m515. Worked fine. :approve:

I've beamed all my contacts from my Palm IIIc to my X30 and I did have to move some fields around as mentioned by AKAJohnDoe. However, none of these contacts will activesync correctly. They all remain unresolved contacts. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this proplem? Changing any of the settinging in activesync have proven useless thus far.
