650-680 data

[cybergodd]

I have a 650... Now I have a 680. I use backup man... How can I get my data and programs across easily? Any ideas?

Not all programs are compatible, at least not in the version you used on your 650. Some have been released in updated versions for the 680, other simply don't work (yet). Just switching them all over is a recipe for disaster as an unsupported application will cause instability, crashes, freezes, etc, as we've seen all too often with the 650.

Someone over at TreoCentral started a thread about compatibility: http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=129490

Another great resource, although just starting to be compiled (the 680 is still relatively new) is PalmFocus' Treo 680 Compatibility List that goes program by program, giving notes and updates on what programs folks have tried. Alphabetical and comprehensive, the list is a great starting point when deciding what to try. These are all real-world, hands-on user reports.
