What Is a Palm Profile?
A Palm profile connects your phone to Palm to get automatic updates, back up your data,
and more. These features are in addition to the ones offered to you by Sprint.
Setting up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up email, see
“Set Up Email” on page 201.
Transfer Data From Your Computer to Your New Phone
If you previously synchronized data from a Palm smartphone—such as contacts or calendar
events—with a desktop organizer such as Palm Desktop
®
software by ACCESS or Microsoft
Outlook
®
, Address Book, or iCal, you can do a one-way transfer of that data from the desktop
organizer to your Pre phone.
Windows: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos/notes from Palm
Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later. If you are using
an earlier version of Palm Desktop software, download version 6.2 for free from
palm.com/support
.
Mac: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, and tasks from Address Book and iCal.
Transfer of data from Palm Desktop software on the Mac is not supported at this time.
Tip
If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail
folder in your desktop email program.
Important
Transferring your data to your phone is not the same as synchronizing your
data. The transfer is a one-way process and is best done only once for each
data source. You cannot synchronize your Pre phone with a desktop
computer, but you can sync it with an online account such as a Google
account or a corporate Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account.
