64-bit compatibility

K-phone · 04-07-2008, 12:59 PM

I recently purchased a new desktop with Windows Vista 64-bit O/S, only to learn that software for my Treo 650 does not support the 64-bit operating system. No one at Palm support seems able to predict whether or when Palm might provide 64-bit support.

Anyone have any thoughts? Must I trash my 650 and look for another model with 64-bit support?

I believe you can get a serial/usb adapter. Will that help

I use it with a bluetooth adapter that is a cheap and wireless option. Any dongle will work, since the only thing you need is a serial port. The palm desktop software (last version) work seamless in the 64-bit os, using the serial port of bluetooth on hot-sync setup.

I also recomend that you set-up both, palm and bluetooth port speed and flow control to on and the same highest setting (palm speed defines it, since its slower than the pc higher value). On pc, it can be software on/of or hardware and on palm it must set the flow control to on, instead of auto (i think there should be a short delay on the detection).

Also, with a paid version of bluesoleil you should also use a lot of features of bluetooth, like wireless headphones to listen or talk trough pc (as you already do with audio gateway on your treo).

If you have any difficult on how to make it, let me know.
