Upgrading from another Palm OS® device

[ * ] NOTE If you are setting up your first Palm OS device, skip ahead

to Connecting your Treo smartphone to your computer.

You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device to your new Treo™ 700P smartphone. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.

When you install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS® software version

5.4.9on your new Treo smartphone. Quarantined files are not installed on your smartphone, nor are they deleted; these files are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\device name\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (On some systems Palm may be replaced with palmOne.)

Tip

If you have trouble upgrading, including finding the location of quarantined files, see Upgrading.

Tip

Some third-party utilities allow you to back up your old device’s information onto an expansion card and then transfer the info to your Treo 700P smartphone. We do not recommend this method because any incompatible applications are also transferred to your smartphone.
