[aklug] Re: Blackberry & SyncML

You are correct, I did not have a good experience.

Just out of curiosity. Is you Palm a Treo (combo cell/palm) or a regular

I ask because I'm curios as to how much of my issues were likely to be
the networking capability of my cellphone or the problem are likely
elsewhere.
