I've been using Palm OS based PDAs for about 15 years and syncing with
jpilot (which uses pilot-link). For the past several years I have had a
Palm Treo 650.
I am due for an upgrade as my Treo has been very beat up. While I would
love to have a Nokia 810, but it is not a smartphone.
In any case, without changing my carrier the only Palm option I have is
to upgrade to the Treo 680 which is a decent device. AT&T also now
supports the Palm Centro.
However, I've been looking at the Blackberry Pearl and Curve models.
These are both Windows Mobile.
If I become a heretic and use a Windows Mobile device, I would no
longer be able to use jpilot and my alternatives are either Evolution
or Kontact. I'm not concerned about my address book and calender, it
is primarily the notes. I use KDE on SuSE 10.3 on my home desktop
system. I also sync to that other system from Redmond at work.
The questions are:
1. What is the best way to transfer my data from the Palm to Windows
Mobile. Should I use Outlook on Windows to transfer my data to the
Windows Mobile device or should I sync the Palm with Kontact or
Evolution and transfer the data that way.
2. What is the best way to sync a Windows Mobile device on Linux. I've
been told that Synce is the only way, but also that it is very buggy.
