Answer: 

Palm Desktop 4.0 was only released a short time 

before being upgraded to version 4.1. This software fixed 
numerous issues. You can download the software from 
http://www.palm.net. To install the Palm Desktop 4.1 
software:

1. Close any HotSync or Palm Desktop Software currently 

running on the system.

2. Download the software from http://www.palm.net.

3. After the software download is complete, install the 

software on to your system.

Question: 

Can I sync my existing backup from my old 

Palm OS device to my SPH-I330?

Answer: 

NO! Due to the integration of the cellular 

handset into the I330's Palm OS implementation, some 
of the system files that are synced during a HotSync 
operation are unique to the I330. Dropping a backup 
from ANY other Palm OS device may cause network/
serial connectivity and other features to stop working 
properly, or may result in a permanent "Fatal Error" every 
time you power on the handset until you do a hard reset. 
If you have an existing Palm device, simply beam address 
book, datebook and other data to the I330. When doing 
an initial HotSync, create a NEW user name for the I330. 
You will then need to use the Palm Install tool or your 
other application's install programs to finish setting up 
your I330.

Question: 

Can I use my existing email client on my SPH-

I330?

Answer: 

Maybe… Existing email clients like Eudora and 

MultiMail Pro have been tested and they work properly 
on the I330. A problem MAY exist if you are having to
