hi,

i just got my first palm device and so far i like it. I have a Treo 650 and i cant figure out why I cant write to my sd card frm my pc, every time i do it i get a message saying that its write protected. How can i disable this or is there another way to transfer files to my sd card?

Check your card. There's a small write-protect switch on the side.

Not yet, but that's a great idea. I'll put together a rough draft - definitely something that is needed. There is a new knowledgebase, but that covers individual questions rather than a new users guide.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I know there are starter guides fr Symbian OS, thats was what I used till yesterday when I got my 650, and those helped me out alot. Palm is so different from Symbian that It'll take a while for me to get used to it but i know that i'm going to like it.

Thanks alot for all the help so far

There's several threads here on essential apps, accessories, etc. As for Doom, the Palm port itself is free, but you need the original discs for the .WAD files (maps).
