I'm in the process of upgrading from my T665C to the UX50.
What is the dead-easiest way of transfering all my Entourage data over to my new clie? Can I simply name it what I named the old clie and then sync? Does it matter that the Palm OS are different between the two?
Thanks for you help before I try and do irrepairable damage!

You fail to state what OS and what sync conduit you are using so no one can answer you accurately.

IFF you are using OSX _and_ PalmDesktop v4.1 you should be able to port the old data to the new Clie by:

1. Sync the UX50 using a new name.
2. Drill down into your \Users\[username]\Documents\Palm\Users\.. folder and find the two folders with names that match your two HotSync names.
3. Copy the contents of the folder with the T665's name to some other folder for safe keeping.
4. Now copy the contents of the T665's folder into the new UX50's folder and overwrite any duplicating files.
5. Re-sync the UX50.

If you are using any other conduits, you will have to explore to find where they squirrel away their data. If you are using OS9 with Palm Desktop, the steps will be similar but the folder will be different.

Is Entourage Mac? If not there is also some kind of new Transfer Tool which you can download from Sony. Probably is Windows only though.

Of course it's Windows, Sony dosn't like Mac users.
