Can I import personalized icons (like photos) into my Address Book?
No, you cannot important personalized icons into the Address Book.
How do I import phone numbers from my SIM?
Read how in
Import Contacts from SIM
on page 124.
What happens to my Address Book contacts if I lose connectivity to the network and
service?
The information on your device and your Desktop Interface will remain safe and unchanged. Any new contact
added to your device during a loss of connectivity will be visible on the device and saved in memory, but will not
be sync’d to the Desktop Interface until the GPRS data connection has been re-established.
My device crashed while I was creating, editing, and/or deleting contacts. What happened to
my work on the device?
If your edits do not appear when your device reconnects to the service, unfortunately these edits were not saved
and are lost.
I would like to use my Palm (or Outlook) categories in the Address Book. How do I import and
map/route my contacts so they match?
First, you need to enter new categories into your Address Book manually, so that they match your contact
management program categories. Unfortunately, the Address Book does not have the ability import contacts and
map multiple categories at one time.
If an imported contact matches a contact already in my Address Book, what should happen?
A user will be presented with three options to resolve import conflicts. The user simply selects the appropriate
option button during the import set-up process. Options are:
• Update the existing contact with the imported data.
• Leave the existing contact alone, and ignore the imported contact.
• Leave the existing contact alone, and add the imported contact.
