Not sure if I did something wrong? My notes and contacts made it, that would have made me lose it once and for all. TXTs still all gone.
Thats what a hard reset does.

It once again reminded my how much better the Palm OS syncs compared to active sync. I felt like sticking with Palm OS was like staying on a leaking ship. At least I could sync, hard reset, and re-sync to get my Treo 700p back. I am sure there is some 3rd party way to preserve the settings but the Palm just worked- asking which personality to sync with while Wondoze just created a new device and synced certain stuff back over.
There is a 3rd party backup app installed on your 800w. Its called Sprite Backup. Works great. It will do exactly what you used to be able to do with Palm Desktop Sync without having to use a computer.
