I would think if it is a common file type. Maybe you should pm a palm user.

I think that is to use palm app on windows mobile

Yeah, exactly.

I figure if you find a decent backup tool for Palm that will run on WinMo, you should be able to do a backup, save it and restore the backup onto the Palm. May be a long shot, but you said you were willing to try anything, right?

ok, which backtool would that be? i am willing to give it a try

i used PIM backup on my touch pro, is there anyway i can restore it onto the new palm phone?

That was the hardest thing moving from WinMO to Palm Pre. You didn't specify which palm. Palm Pre works very different than other Palm Devices. Pre want to store info on the Cloud. I exported contacts from TP to a CSV file then imported to GMail. Palm Pre then reads it in from Google. Very cool! Hope this helps. Loving Palm Pre, things actually work without crashes!!!
