moving stuff from my old Pocket PC 2002 to a new Pocket PC 2003

[shaminda]

I have a Viewsonic V37 with Pocket PC 2002. I just got a Dell Axim X5 with Pocket PC 2003. I sync my Viewsonic on my computer. I want to move all my stuff on the Viewsonic to my Dell. How do I do this? Or what is the the easiest and fastest way to do it? What is the best way to do it? I use Outlook 2003 presently to sync my Viewsonic.

A backup will not work... so you can just forget about doing a backup and restore for this one...

The best way to do this is to copy all your files into a storage card or to the PC using File Explorer... so from your Viewsonic, copy all important folders to your PC's desktop (so you see them all). Make sure that you synchronize it with the PC one last time...

Then all you have to do is dock your Axim to the PC... ActiveSync it... creating a new partnership, and make sure that you set all user settings the way you want it. (like number of weeks displayed)... After creating the partnership and synching it... go to Add/Remove programs on your desktop PC's ActiveSync and select the apps you want to install... better do it in small batches or one by one... some apps require a soft reset...

Then copy all the folders you took out from your Viewsonic and just drag them into your Axim.

Plus, this will give you the chance to clean up and "ditch" those apps you had to have but never really use...
