Alan G Moderator Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Connecticut Posts: 1,801	Here is the list of files that you will want to import into Classic, the Palm OS 5 emulator for Palm webOS devices. The core files are: CalendarDB-PDat.pdb ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb MemosDB-PMem.pdb TasksDB-PTod.pdb I also copied the following database files, which are completely optional. AddressCitiesDB.pdb AddressCompaniesDB.pdb AddressCountriesDB.pdb AddressStatesDB.pdb AddressTitlesDB.pdb CalendarLocationsDB-PDat.pdb ContactsBDIndex-PAdd.pdb ContactsSimDB-PAdd.pdb MemosDB-PMem.pdb You will be able to import this data if you follow the MotionApps FAQ and load the Classic ROM update utility. After you install the update and restart Classic, you can put the files into the ClassicApps/Install folder to merge the database files into what would be RAM on a real Palm OS 5 device. You should be ready to rock-n-roll that point. I've just tested the import of all the files listed above and all of the data from my Treo 755p was imported directing into the PIM apps.

Alan G Moderator Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Connecticut Posts: 1,801	You're talking about the feed from SmartphoneFanatics, right? I copied and pasted the enclosure link for the XML feed which caused the problem. I just corrected the link. It will take a while to update in the site feed for SPF.

HBL Registered User Join Date: May 2004 Location: City of the Angels Posts: 77	Thanks Alan. My itunes didn't know the difference between the incorrect ep 212 feed and the new one today. In my case I had to delete my SPF feed and resubscribe. No biggy really. Just something for folks to keep in mind if they downloaded it last night like I did. I was so anxious to get your take on getting and using the Pre I read the ep transcript last night. Rest assured I will still listen to the podcast sometime today. This has been a long time coming for all of us and I want to savor every moment of it. Cheers to all Palm Fans Last edited by HBL : 06-12-2009 at 09:06 AM.

Now I'm a happy Pre & new Sprint user! I just want to thank you for making the last two years interesting while we all waited for the rebirth of Palm!

Yes- the good news was I was streaming the link over my new Pre. The bad news was Alan was talking 755p and 680.
The MP3 link at http://www.preswitcher.com/ was the correct one.

Also, do you think the PIMs are a big step backwards? Notes don't sync with anything, calendar less functional. Also, you can't copy text directly from email, sometime it doesn't work even if you try getting it in a textfield by going to the reply screen. I have to retype stuff from my email into my calendar. I'm pretty comfortable with the thumbboard, just hoped that it'll get systemwide spelling check, like in Mac OS X __________________ My devices: NX73V -> TH55 (primary) my blog:http://intellidryad.blogspot.com/ Get Firefox, the ultimate browser!

JAmerican Why Does Palm Disappoint? Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 5,909	I am still using my Treo 800w (with an extended battery) and 8GB microSD. Works great for me. I feel with all the changes I've done to my device, I find my Treo 800w does more than the Pre or the iPhone. It is also not locked down by Apple like the iPhone is or needs to be jailbroken to do this. -WMWifiRouter (tethering through EVDO Rev. A connection) -SkyFire (real web browsing like playing Flash directly from the sites like YouTube or viewing Silverlight websites) -PocketRAR allows me to download RAR files from the web and unpack them without using my PC -FTouchFlo allows me to kinetically scroll -TreoAlerts allow me to customize the LED or vibrate functionality on my device -RealVGA allows me to increase the Resolution of my device to 320x320 -Office Mobile (comes pre-installed) I can edit Office Word/Excel files . Earlier this year, people found out that the Treo 800w supports USB Host meaning you can connect USB devices such as flash drives. This is really cool. Also, I'll post a video sometime in the future of my Treo because it runs so fast even with IE, Windows Media, FaceBook, LiveSearch, etc open. I am not limited to 10 apps or no third-party apps (cough iPhone). I feel the problem with the Treo 800w is that it has great software (especially with the Palm tweaks) but poor hardware. I've been lucky that after a couple replacements. My current device is working smoothly . __________________ JAmerican Handspring Treo 90 --> Royal RG135nx --> T-Mobile Sidekick --> T-Mobile Sidekick Color --> PEG-UX40 -- > PEG-UX50--> Samsung T629 (Returned) -- > Palm TX (SOLD)/T-Mobile Sony Ericsson T610(Defective) --> T-Mobile Dash(Broken Screen) --> ASUS EEE 1000H Black/Treo 800w/PEG-VZ90 Accesories: Transcend 16GB SDHC \| 8GB Transcend microSD Last edited by JAmerican : 06-13-2009 at 02:02 PM.

Jesus is Lord! Registered User Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mpls, MN Posts: 71	Thanks for the link toroco! @JAmerican: I told my brother to get the 800W for his corporate phone. It was one of the many WM phones he had to choose from. Even though he can't tweak his like you did (being corporate and all), it's still a great phone out of the box. I wish he could install SkyFire on that thing!

How does it render complex MS Office files and does it view the new version 2007 MS Office files? __________________ Dennis -==- Philly Last edited by DennisOS2 : 06-19-2009 at 04:17 PM.

bquin Registered User Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 59	Alan: Some questions: when you use the one-way data sync to get the PIMs into the Pre, what do you use to read memos? In Classic mode, is the a full screen version like on the TX or is a m515 screen version? Thanks ofr the great review. Can't wait for thre next edition...
