Migrating Palm devices, Sony Clie -> T650

[Mr. Goodbar]

I also converted from a Sony Clie NX-60 to a Treo 650. Had a few issues with it crashing due to non-compatible apps, but once I filtered those out I havn't had a single problem.

One thing I have noticed since migrating to the Treo 650 is (I do alot of testing so).... you can't install too many programs at the same time. I've had time were i've installed one app and it causes my device to crash.. I hard reset, and resync with the computer.... the device resets after the sync and sometimes will go into an endless loop. If I hard reset again, and take all extra apps out of my backup folder and add them 1 to 3 at a time.. I will get them all back on there without having any issues. Something to keep in mind if you run into the endless loop problem after hot-syncing after a hard-reset.

Thanks. I'm actually very worried about the crashing/resetting bug. I have a family member who recently purchased a Treo 650 and all I hear from him anymore are complaints about how it's resetting all the time. I need to ask what 3d party apps he's tainted it with.

I'd always migrated by syncing the old device and then the new one. But that meant some applications moved across that I'd rather have introduced one-by-one to be sure that they didn't cause issues with the new operating system. I would manually remove them from the backup folder to keep them from going to the new device but I never felt really sure I'd remembered everything. I love the idea of beaming the data. I'll be using that one next time I upgrade my pda! It will be interesting to see if it works for those who might be moving to the 700 windows version.

How about moving data from a Handspring Prism to the 650? Can I just open my Prism on my PC and dump the data straight into the 650 (I did this when I moved my data from my old Visor to my Prism, however, don't want to try unless maybe someone else could tell me if this would work from the Prism to the 650.)?
