Default Have Treo on VZ now and want the Tour, but....

....I have thousands of phone numbers under "Contacts" and literally 5-6k calander events (I need to save past events so that I can look back at what I did on a particular day). My worry is this.....how do I get all of this info from the Treo 755p to a new Tour? I use Palm Desktop to backup my data on my 755p. I asked the guy at the VZ store and he looked at me like I had 3 heads and said "I am sure that we can figure something out." He did not look all that confident and I absolutely cannot lose 10+ years of phone numbers and appointments. Any suggestions? Thanks

Import it all to Outlook on a computer and export it back out? I don't know what all you'd lose there but I think that'd be worth a shot.

as long as you have a backup of that device and don't do anything to it.. you can always get that information..

so keep that in mind..

if it is synced to your computer and synced into outlook (contacts, and calendar) you can sync it over to the new phone.

I had no issues transferring over info from my Treo to my Curve. Backed it up the night prior just in case and never needed it. My store was able to get all my info over.

The VZW store can transfer your contact list for sure, but probably not your calander and any other databases, HOWEVER RIM's Desktop Manager (or DM as we call it) can do it. Just use the device switch option on DM. It'll walk you thru what you have to do to get ALL the info off of the Palm.
