1. Can I change the 411 button on the Today Screen to (for example) my home number?

2. Can I save my Contacts & Calendar to my Memory Card instead of Internal Memory?

3. Does leaving the power cord connected to my Treo once its charged, hurt my battery in any way?

Thanks In Advance

If you're staying on WM5, make sure to install the sound patch from Palm or your alerts and rings may go silent after a while. (Better off going to WM6 imo.)

Numbers appearing on the today screen are Speed Dials. You can make any number a speed dial by setting up the speed dial fields in the contact info. If you have a picture associated with the contact, you can even make it a picture dial on the today screen (kinda like the "fave five").

Not sure if there's a way to keep contact info on a mem card. Not really sure why you'd want to do that as it doesn't eat that much memory. As an example, assuming you had 1000 characters of text for a single contact (probably way less in reality) and it was uncompressed, you'd have to have over 1000 contacts before you even hit 1 meg of storage with no compression. If you're wanting to do it for backup reasons, just sync with outlook. Easier to enter contact info into outlook anyway.

As far as leaving the power cord connected, I don't think that will hurt. Unless having a full battery hurts you.
