v3.0 Smartphone vs Treo 750

[atlauren]

Is v3.0000 "Smartphone" known to work on the Treo 750?

I cannot configure SyncML on this device, as the Profile Data screen doesn't fit into the display window, and the scroll bar is nonfunctional.

I don't know if this is relevant: after installing via the .CAB download, Windows Mobile warns that it "may not have installed correctly, as it was written for a prior verion of Windows Mobile."

Thank you,
Andrew

I now see that there's a small note in the download page for the PocketPC version that it's *also* for the 700w. I tried that for my 750, and it works fine.

I'd suggest that the download pages for the Smartphone version be updated to mention that that version does not work with the 700w/750.

With the ever changing names for Windows mobile device classes (WM6 will change these again, be prepared for "Classic", "Standard" and "Professional") the only reliable distinction is the presence of a touch screen.

If the device has a touch screen, it is what Microsoft used to call a "PocketPC".

If the device does not have a touch screen, it is what Microsoft used to call a "SmartPhone".

Until today, Palm has only produced "PocketPCs" - the 700w and the 750 - both have a touch screen.

PS: I also updated the description in our download page - thanks for the suggestion.

The labelling is confusing, I sympathize. Thanks for updating the download pages.

I'm running a Sprint Treo 700wx using the 3026 version.

the Server is a product called FirstClass.

Everytime I sync the handheld sends an update to the server on calendar events. Doesn't change anything, but I can see from logs that is doing an update. This creates some spurious and distracting entries in the history of our calendar events that I'd really rather they weren't there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

further info.

so, events created in the users calendar in Firstclass show this behavior, update everytime I sync.

Items created on treo and synced show this behavior also.

However, if that user receives an invitation to a shared event from another user on the system, that event doesn't show this same behavior.

Additionally, if I look at the synthesis client log it shows a slow sync for calendar events everytime, which I guess makes sense since that's what I'm seeing.

The synthesis client setup shows normal for calendar sync as does the setup on the Firstclass client side.

Any ideas?

Thanks
