About the Data Transfer Assistant
The DTA enables you to do a one-time, one-way export of data from
selected desktop apps to your Pixi Plus phone through the USB cable
included with your phone. After the data is on your phone, you can select
the account you want to import the data to.
IMPORTANT
The DTA is not synchronization software. It is meant to be
used once per desktop app, to export your info from the desktop app to an
account on your phone.
These are the desktop apps that the DTA works with, and what data the
DTA transfers to your phone:
Note the following:
•
Depending on the amount of data you are transferring, it can take up to an
hour to transfer data with the DTA.
•
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, only Outlook 2007 is supported.
•
If you have an earlier version of Palm Desktop, you can download version
6.2 for free from
tall it, sync with your old Palm
device, and then use the DTA to transfer your data.
•
Do you use Palm Desktop on the Mac? Don’t worry, you can export your
contacts, calendar events, and tasks into Address Book and iCal. Then use
the DTA to transfer your data. For more information, go to
