Thanks everyone, for the replies. I bought the thing and will come back with how it worked. . . Nick On Thursday 29 August 2002 20:26, Jonathan Cowherd wrote:

I've gotten my Kyocera 6035 smartphone with palm 3.5 working seemlessly with pilot-xfer through my serial port @ 112kbps. I'll try Jpilot tonight. I don't see why the m105 would be any different.

Thanks, Keith, The m105 seems to have OS 3.5. Hopefully it won't be $99 down the toilet!

I have to disagree that the zaurus is crap. I was a Palm user for 5 years and while Palms are great, they are in a different class than the zaurus. I had no problems syncing my Palm to Jpilot, that was with Palm OS 3.x. I did have problems with a recent Sony Clie and Palm OS 4.x syncing with SuSE 8.

SO are you saying that the 105 won't properly sync? The cost ($99) sounds good to me if I can make it work with Suse,and frankly I don't need all the extra features of the Zaurus - I'm reallly looking for something to "turn it on and it goes" rather than getting myself into a long process of posting here for help with a PA- and then taking three days to port over my existing Palm info (which has dumped into evolution quite nicely!).

I don't know about the m105. Palm syncing worked for me with a Palm V and a Visor Prism. It did not work with a Sony Clie. The Sony had the new Palm OS 4.x which may have been the difference.
