First I used CompanionLink to synch Palm Desktop with my Palm Pre 2.  I don=
't recommend that because it corrupted my data, and it's just awkward to us=
e.=20=20

I decided to move my data to Outlook, so I use Chapura's Pocket Copy produc=
t.   Worked like a charm, moved everything from Palm Desktop to Outlook wit=
hout any problems.   Cost is $30 (can't remember the exact amount) and wort=
h every dime.  Now I'm happily synching Outlook & Pre with Pocket Mirror, a=
nd praying that my Pre lasts a long time.
