Transfer data from Palm3 to 665?

[dave299]

I just bought the T665 to replace my aging Palm3. I have a lot on the Palm3 that I would like transferred to the new 665.
Has anyone gone through this upgrade?
Will all my programs and data be transferred through the Hot Sync process?

If you just install the new cradle and Palm desktop software and do a Hotsync, it will ask you if you what name to give your T665. If you give the same name as your Palm III, it will automatically transfer all the basic data over (Datebook, Addresses, etc.). Once you do this, don't sync your Palm III otherwise it will get confused.

For other software that you have loaded, you'll have to reinstall onto the T665 or beam it from your Palm III. This is what I did when I went from my Palm IIIe to Clie T615. There may be a third party app that can totally transfer data and programs, but I don't know of any.
