22 :: Setting up your computer
Upgrading from another Palm Powered
™
device
Note: If you’re setting up your first Palm Powered device, skip ahead to “Connecting
your Treo smartphone to your computer” on page 27.
You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous device
to your new Treo™ 650 smartphone.
1. Calculate how much space your applications and
information occupy on your old device. From the
Applications Launcher (on some devices this is
called the Home screen), open the menus. Select
Info on the App menu. At the bottom of the screen,
select Size. Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number on the left
from the number on the right to calculate the
space used. For example, on the device shown
here, 19.6 - 17.8 = 1.8. This means that 1.8MB of space is occupied on this device.
2. If the space occupied on your old device is less than 20MB, go to step 3. If more
than 20MB is occupied, then do any of the following to reduce the amount of
information and applications that needs to be transferred before you go to the next
step:
• Delete any third-party applications that you no longer use.
• Move large files, such as eBooks and images, to an expansion card.
• Move third-party applications to an expansion card.
• Purge old information in applications such as Calendar (Date Book), To Do, and
email.
Refer to the documentation that came with your old device for instructions on
the items listed above.
3. Synchronize your old device with your old desktop software to back up your
information one last time.
