Okay, I have a Palm. And a Motorola V.60t cell phone.
What I really want is to be able to beam my phone numbers from my Palm to my Motorola, so I don’t have to re-enter them.
And according to one scrap of paper I can find in the Motorola box, there is a connectivity kit between the V.60 series and the Palm.
But what I got/can get instead is Starfish TrueSync software. This allows me to sync between my Palm, Outlook on my desktop, and my phone.
Which is great except …
- It’s slower than molasses.
- Outlook’s latest security patch now force me to manually allow programs access to my mail system for X minutes, which dialog does not automatically pop up to the top (this is a problem with the normal Palm sync, and now even more with TrueSync).
- I inadvertently synced my calendar to my phone, which I did not want to do.
- Various synchronizing incompatabilities keep creeping in.
I think it will still work, at least until I get an answer from Motorola about the direct Palm connection. But it’s going to be a pain in the patootie.

I’ve gotten the unwanted appointments out of my phone (by creating an empty calendar in Outlook and then having the phone sync to that).
Now I’m having problems with …
*Sigh*
Well, I managed to get rid of the duplicate appointments, by inadvertently getting rid of all my appointments. Swell.
I’m backing off the TrueSync thing for the moment. I’ve got a full snapshot of my phone numbers in both my phone and in Outlook, and I’d just as soon have PSA Cards and my Palm remain as the canonical version. If Motorola will just answer about the Palm/Phone connectivity kit, life would be grand.
