Pre Plus contact list/category concern

I've a couple hundred contacts from my old Treo 755P. Here's my problem/example... Lack of categories. I need to find my mother's rarley used neurologist, can't remember his name. What to do? Scroll through 200+ contacts and hope I recognize a name or go to (old Palm) category "Mom's MDS" and choose from a list of a half dozen.
My Pre Plus work around is to make my own category list by putting "Mom's MDs" in the "company" section of the contacts, keeps all her MDs in one place. Still, if my "caterory" is at the bottom of a bunch of categories, I have to scroll all the way down the list to get there.
The omission of categories is a step backwards from Garnet. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Chuck.

Contacts transfer from Centro to Pre Plus

I have downloaded ECho 3.0 to my PC, but have not switched phones yet until I get some advice. Should I transfer my contacts to my Sim Card before I switch it into my Pre Plus? I want to basically put all my info from Centro to Pre Plus and continue to use DeskTop Plus. Anyone?

I cannot view my contact list via Backup Assistant Plus

I go to My Verizon, More Actions, Manage My Contacts. After doing so, up comes a dialogue box which welcomes me to Backup Assistant Plus. It has an option to add one or more email accts. I choose Windows Live Hotmail and enter my email address and password. After doing so, I receive an error message which reads, "Failed to add endpoint due to the following reason: Missing Device Name. Please try again." I am entering the correct email address and password but to no avail. As a result, it is impossible for me to see the contact list within Backup Assistant Plus. Has anyone else noted this behavior? Thanks in advance.

Thanks but I cannot seem to follow the instructions. I cannot see the Content Management selection you mention. It seems that I already have BAckup Assistant Plus on my acct. as I can go to that option on my phone and it tells me that the most recent backup was successful. I can't see these contacts online however. To review, I choose More Actions - Manage My Contacts - Welcome to Backup Assistant Plus - At that point, a box comes up asking me to add one or more email accts. I choose Windows Live Hotmail and enter the correct email address and password. That is when I get the aforementioed message, "Failed to add endpoint due to the following reason: Missing Device Name. Please try again."
This has become very frustrating as my calls to Verizon have not helped. However, it is reassuring to know that my contacts are indeed being backed up through my Microsoft Outlook acct. and can be retrieved from there should need be.
Nevertheless, I would sure like to be able to see and manage these contacts on Backup Assistant Plus online. Thanks for your help.

Breaking News: Palm Pre loses customers contact lists and finds entertainment in ignoring desperate cries for help!

I wish the subject matter was not true , but it is. I lost all my company contacts last week and have been pleading for help from Palm for over a week, I have already written a link based on Minkas complaint. I have heard stories about bad servers ect ect through the grapevine but the bottom line is , no matter what has happened....Palm has not honored any of the 3 promises to call me back that had been arranged at a Sprint Store with the help of the employees over the speaker phone, I head the promise, the employees heard the promise and over a week later I still have not heard back from Palm. I have lost important business contacts for my labor supply, my material supply and a handfull of contacts that I can not replace because they are not in the phone book....Bottom line, Palm does not care about you or the company your run, the support is lacking and almost comical...can you believe I was told the only way to contact or make a complaint about the company is to write a blog....If somebody has an issue with my personal products they can talk to me 24 hours a day, yet Palm has no such contact or even a official form I can fill out....THE ONLY WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT IS BY A BLOGG....and hope somebody reads about this at Palm and cares enough to call back....this company acts like they believe in witchcraft and the only way they can handle a issue is that it must be delivered to them by devine intervention....I have never complained about a product in my life, but I bought this phone to help my business and what I got was abandoned, ignored and left to rot while they continously ignore me and my situation. Here are some things you should get used to if you have a problem with Palms products..1. Wait 72 hours and a level 3 or 4 tech will call you back but they do not 2. We will escalate your problem and you will be called back in 72 hours or less but they wont. 3. No, you may not contact the CEO of the company or anybody in authority. 4. If you have a complaint u have to write a blog because nobody specializes ln complaints about service. I understand problems happen , but a company that ignores customers begging for help almost every day because it affects a companies income... the money needed to pay bills and support families....this kind of company will watch you fall over a cliff and perish without a second thought....I will never trust Palm again, they will take your money and abandon you in your most dire time of need. They have done it to me, and as of tonight at 11 pm they told me somebody will call me in 72 hours.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

To anybody who has lost a contact list from palm my deepest sympathies go out to you. Be prepared to be ignored and dismissed by Palm. Today is Sunday November 9 and this is the 9th day I have waited for a call back from a level 3 tech but I want to share with you what happened today. I actually got a call from Palm but it was not from a tech...after pleading with the online help last night and explaining I have been ignored and need to speak to a tech person guess who called me ? It was the standard help line that you can call listed on this website...He had no clue at all how to help but promised me again (This would be promise 5 from online chat help and Im still also on promise 3 given at the Sprint store) needless to say he said that because of the serious nature of my request and the time I have waited he would talk to his manager and make sure I was contacted today...I waited and once again received no call back but what was really disturbing was he told me that the Sprint manager and the 2 employees that assisted me at the store were a bunch of liars. He told me no calls were ever made to Palm, even though we all listened on the speaker phone to the Palm representative each of the 3 times I went back to the store for help....I go to the store on greenback in citrus heights, Ca each time they have been fantastic in trying to help me and each time they have spent 30-40 minutes trying to clear my problems up and at the end of each conversation they make Palm promise to call me back with a level 3 or 4 tech. So...today they not only lie to me again but they call the employees at Sprint a bunch of liars telling me that no records of a call back have ever been made...once again Palm continues to abandon the customer and also offer up Sprint as the sacrificial lamb. As bad as the problem is, I noticed some disturbing facts again ( I am now on my 3rd palm pre in 3 months) My problems started over a week ago when all info was lost.Once I had the drive wiped and only got 6 contacts back.I actually entered 3 new contacts on my phone by hand ( I do use any Google or any other site ect) long story short I got a new phone on Friday the 6th of November because of constant lock up and inability to answer...when I downloaded my Palm profile it downloaded only 6 contacts again (they lost aprox 90) but it once again lost the 3 new contacts I had in my phone for 5 days ( and yes all autoback ups were on) I see more and more people are having these problems and I want to let you know that Palm does not care about you or any issues you have that require level 3 help.( Please note if you look up level 3 help at Palm its refers you to a webpage about Santa Clause....because neither exist)..you should take a deep breath, get in line and hope maybe you will be luckier than I have been...I really saw the writing on the wall when they started calling Sprint a bunch of liars....I think Palm is pulling off the biggest pyramid scheme the industry has seen in years. They got the money and now they are nowhere to be found. Here is the bottom line once again...Something is still wrong on the servers...they continue to lose contact information and they know they have a problem. I speak the truth when I say this... Palm does not care about you or your business, If your really serious about your business and your responsible for the income of employees and families you should avoid Palm at all costs. After 9 Days of Begging for help I feel like a total chump for trusting Palm and believing in this company.

I tried to sync my iphone 4, all my contact list got messed up, all of them got douplicated. And plus I got some of my old deleted contact lists back to my iphone!!what should I do?

I tried to sync my iphone 4, all my contact list got messed up, all of them got douplicated. And plus I got some of my old deleted contact lists back to my iphone!!what should I do?

iTunes only keeps one backup, every new backup replaces the old one, only backups used to restore from are not overwritten and marked with a time stamp.
If you can't find any other backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, your contact info's are gone. Only if you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you would be able to restore the old backup folder containing the latest backup at that time.
The location of the backup folder is described in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
- My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
- Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Speculating:
if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:
http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.

Now Palm Pre Plus, can I remove Palm desktop?

OK, newbie here. I just switched (successfully) to Pre Plus on Verizon (from Treo). All my data (contacts, calendar etc) is in Outlook. I use Companionlink to sync Outlook-to-Google-to-PalmPre. Works beautifully, all my data is in both Outlook & on my Pre & syncing back/forth.
My question is: I have never used Palm Desktop. I used to Hotsync my Treo to Outlook. Can I now remove Palm Desktop altogether? and remove Hotsync Manager? any reason not to? One of the reasons I want to get rid of old Palm stuff is that every time I have to restart my computer I get this irritating notice to register my old palm device. I've always gotten it & want it to stop! Assume by removing Palm Desktop & Hotsync it will finally go away. Plus I just like the idea of cleaning house.
P.S. love this Pal Pre Plus.

sonnytris1, are you using Companionlink software?
If not, your question is OFF TOPIC, and has no place being in this thread. Ask it in a new thread, or one that concerns your issue!

Pre Plus won't sync more than latest 3 months from Google Calendar. Need help.

[previously posted in WebOS Software section, but I now think that might have been the wrong place; only one reply; no answers]
I was a very happy owner of my new Pre Plus until I tried to sync my multi-year Google Calendar to my PP, when only the last three months of my GC data would sync to my PP.
Some higher level Palm techs and I spent quite a lot of time on the phone, trouble shooting and testing. Ulltimately, we were unable to solve the problem. The last tech I spoke with acknowledged that currently there are performance problems with the PP if a lot of GC data is downloaded. Apparently Palm has decided (for now) to prevent us new PP owners from choking our PP's performance by limiting our initial downloads to only the most recent three months of GC data. I was told that Palm is working on this problem and it probably would be fixed with the next update.
I've searched the forum and didn't see any other mention of this problem. Any one else experiencing this problem?
*** My questions: Can someone at Palm tell me (1) Is this is a problem that is being worked on by Palm/Verizon? (2) If so, should be fixed soon? (I only have about 10 days left in my 30 day trial of the PP at Verizon. If I can't have all of my GC data on my phone I will have to turn it back in before the trial period ends.) (3) Can you suggest some other trouble shooting I could try? (4) Can you suggest a workaround?
(I can provide a somewhat comprehensive list of the trouble shooting already tried and my Service Request Number, if needed.)

The time period for syncing calendar events is a setting.
Go into Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to you get to Calendars. Where it says Sync, you have an option to change how long you want to sync.
The Default is Events 1 Month Back, but you can choose All Events.

Pre Plus randomly erasing phone numbers

My Palm Pre Plus is randomly erasing phone numbers since I received it last Thursday. I suspect it has something to do with Synergy's syncing to my various accounts.
Example situation: Yesterday morning a friend texted me to see if I wanted to meet at a coffee shop. I told him yes, and we went and had coffee.
This morning, I went to text the same friend, only to find that his phone number was no longer listed under his contact profile. My only messaging option was through Google Talk (which I don't think counts) - even though my txt's from yesterday were still listed, had the little SMS marker - AND his phone number - next to them, in small grey font. But with no phone number, there was no SMS option.
I tried chatting with a Palm support person before leaving for coffee yesterday, who at first didn't believe that I had upgraded my phone to 1.4. They hadn't gotten the memo of its release yet. The situation was dropped with the hope that 1.4 had fixed the problem. It hasn't.
What's the deal here?
Also - I continue to have that infamous double type or missing letter problem with the keyboard.
In addition - does anyone else find it incredibly silly that virtually my entire contact list is impermanent? In other words, half of the information relies solely on my contacts maintaining their Facebook profiles and including their phone number and such. If a person's phone number has been pulled into my contacts from Facebook, and they decide to erase their Facebook account - boom - I no longer have their phone number. I suppose I could enter a duplicate phone number entry - but who has time? And with the above issue, how do I know it will even stay there?

I have my Google account as my default profile, however most of my contacts were pulled in from Facebook and I manually entered phone numbers when necessary from my old Centro. I re-entered my friend's phone number and it has stuck around since last weekend, so hopefully as the other user above mentioned, it's just one of those things that happens early on and then sorts itself out.
I did a bit of testing today, to see how my phone was syncing to my google account, which was syncing back to Address Book on my Mac. If I delete a contact on my phone, or any part of a contact's information, it is erased from my google contacts on the next sync, and thus my Mac's address book on the computer's next sync. So now, all this information seems tied to me keeping my phone up to date. I wish it was just additive, not destructive.
I'm still somewhat upset over the apparent fact that my accounts are impermanent. I don't like the idea that I have no permanent record of a contact. If a friend is being pulled into my contacts from Facebook, and she has no other account associated with me, it seems that their existence in my address book is dependent on them maintaining their Facebook profile. I have no way to "lock it in" as it were. It doesn't seem that facebook-only contacts added into my Google contacts either. It's all a bit confusing.
I will have Verizon look into the keyboard issue.

SERIOUS PROBLEM Synching Palm Pre Plus (Verizon) with Companion Link OS USB -- NEED HELP!!

I am having serious problems with Companion Link OS USB synching with Palm Desktop 4.2 via USB on my Verizon Palm Pre.
The Verizon phone is my second Palm Pre. (The original Palm Pre which came from Germany worked perfectly with Companion Link).
The Verizon Palm Pre is a Palm Pre Plus.
As noted I utilize Palm Desktop software Version 4.2.0 on my computer.
I started out with Companion Link software Version 3.0 Build 3096 -- and have worked my way up to Version 4.0 Build 4008 over the last few months, and have spend hundreds of hours trying to solve the synchronization issue described in detail below.
The Companion Link software is configured to ONLY synch one way
FROM my Palm Desktop on my computer to the phone via USB
(I don’t want to put my contacts and calendar on the web, NOR do I like the way Google contacts works, even if I DID want to).
When I synch the Palm Desktop to the Palm Pre the following occurs:
The Calendar synchs fine.
The contacts do NOT synch properly.
I have 1,500+ contacts in my Palm Desktop.
For some inexplicable reason, during the synch process the approximately 1,200+ of my contacts are compiled under ONE contact listing (John Davis). The icon by the contact shows that TWO contacts are linked under John Davis, however when I click on the icon to see who is linked under John Davis, NO contacts appear. But I have the option to link additional contacts under John Davis if desired (AS IF!!).
So, 1,200 of my contacts do NOT appear in the contact list. If I want to call my husband, and type in Bruce, NOTHING comes up. BUT if I type in his phone number, the listing for John Davis comes up and shows me all the numbers that legitimately belong to my husband. Ditto my friend Susan, etc for the other 1,200 contacts buried under the contact listing for John Davis on the phone.
SO, if any of these 1,200+ people, call me or text message me, my phone tells me I have a call or a text from John Davis.
I cannot look up my contacts to call them or text them because the contacts do not actually APPEAR under John Davis (If the phone were just linking them and SHOWED them, I could manually de-link them).
FURTHER, when I get a text message from anyone who is compiled under John Davis, the text message is truncated. I can see the notification that I got a text message from John Davis, and I can see the first few words in the notification area, but if I open the text message, it appears to be blank (this only happens after synching Companion Link – before linking Companion Link all text messages are fine. AND, if I get a text message from one of the 300 or so contacts that actually synch into my phone correctly, the text messages are perfectly fine and work normally.
I have worked with BOTH the Companion Link technical support people AND the Palm technical support people extensively in an effort to solve this problem.
I have done Full Secure Erases and started over trying to get the phone to synch more than 35 times at this point.
I have tried synching from different computers
I have had Palm replace the phone TWICE (so this is actually my third Verizon Palm Pre Plus).
I have run Web OS Doctor
Nothing helps.
Every time the phone does exactly the same thing described above.
            When I synch the phone it tells me:
            Web OS:     Added             1543/1543    Contacts to the phone
            PC:              Updated          1232/1232     Contacts
(The 1232 contacts being updated are the 1232 that are compiled under the one contact listing of course).
Needless to say, Companion Link says it is the phone.
Palm says it is the Companion Link third party software.
Since it is the same 1,200+ contacts every time, I have had both Palm and Companion Link examine my contact database to see if they could identify anything amok about these 1,200+ contacts, but there doesn’t appear to be any difference between those contacts and the 300 or so that synch into the phone properly.
Companion Link has told me variously that:
- This is a very rare Synergy issue and that I must turn off the Synergy feature on the phone (would that this could be done per Palm it can NOT be done).
- Only TWO people have ever had this issue (me and someone else unnamed);
- That this is a common problem with the Palm Pre, but Companion Link works fine with every other phone
- I e-mailed them my contact list and they SWORE to me that they were unable to duplicate my problem on their computers. (I don’t believe this)
- AND has most recently told me that there is nothing more they can do for me, that I will have to find a solution myself.
Palm has said that there is nothing they can do for me if third party software doesn’t work properly with the phone.
This does appear to be the Synergy feature run amok. But how to correct it???????
I love the Palm Pre. I love my Palm Desktop 4.2 software.
If I can’t get this fixed shortly, I guess I’m going to have to move back to a Treo 680.
Does anyone out there please, please, please have a solution or a suggestion that will help?

Hello,
I am almost as frustrated as you. Purchased my pre plus back in may and bought the companion link software immediately ( I have synced via usb for years on other palms to lotus notes) All the information from companion link states that it does the job. I only need to sync my calendar, no contacts.   I have put in a ridiculous amount of time with palm, my IT department and Companion link, IT HAS NEVER EVER EVER WORKED.   I deleted, re installed, upgraded, tried different steps in different orders, I have gotten a new phone, tried it on multiple computers. NOTHING WORKS.   Probably been through all these steps listed 50 times by now. Actually I think that companion link doesn't work for palm pre plus, they just are not willing to say so and advertise that is does work.
I am extremely disappointed in my pre because of this. I did my research before making my purchase, it appeared possible.    I WAS a long term palm user. Currently looking at new phones and never again a palm. Companion link should be more careful about what they say they can do. One of the service techs actually told me that if I wanted it to work I should ditch my palm. That's service for ya.
Good luck, the fight got the better of me. I am done.

Applications that I need on my Pre Plus

I was able to move from a Treo 680 to a Pre Plus because I knew that I could use Classic to emulate the PalmOS for applications that I really needed. I like many of the new Pre applications and certainly true multi-tasking is great but here is what I need and am missing in my Pre (in random order):
(1) Windows Office program - A full Documents-to-go was promised more than a year ago. Now, Quick Office is promised for Web OS 2 but Web OS 2 is eliminating Classic. That's a big problem because I still need the rest of this list which is only available through Classic and Palm OS.
(2) Genealogy program - I currently have "My Roots" that works with my PC program working through Classic. There is nothing yet in WebOS
(3) Worldmate - Bits and pieces of its functions are available through WebOS but nothing compares to the real Worldmate which is available in multiple smartphone formats, including Palm OS.
(4) Pocket Quicken or an equivalent - Here's a real problem. Intuit no longer licenses it but existing users can continue to use it. I use it on a daily basis through Classic. It synchronizes transactions with my PC version of Quicken. I'd settle for an alternative but there is none to my knowledge.
(5) Backup that I control - I have used RscBackup for many years. I like selecting my backup preferences and being able to restore partially or fully. Also, I want them on my PC (and its backups) and not on yours.
(6) One Synchronizing program - I currently synchronize with three applications: Chapura Synch Manager (dates, contacts, memos, todos), HotSync (for applications maintained in Classic), and Wifi Media Synch. And, still I have to use the USB connection to move files.
(7) File Manager program - I want to be able to, at least, move a photo between folders but even that means turning off my Pre and attaching the USB cable and then disconnecting and restarting. Come on, we need an easier way!!
(8) Better Music program - I really miss pTunes. It handled music, playlists, and radio with plenty of controls and adjustments.
(9) Better eReader program - I have, to date, used six major reading programs between my Treo (eReader, MobiReader, Plucker) and Pre (Kobo, pReader, & Popelli.) The Pre ones are limited and cumbersome. Also, none can handle the DRM protected files, not even the basic ones from the public library.
(10) Audio book reader - I am using the Music player on the Pre but I cannot stop and resume without losing my place in an hour long section.
(11) Holidays on calendar - One thing I no longer am missing is holidays on my calendar. After years of using an application on my Treo that added them to my calendar, which I could then edit, I am now following a suggestion on the Palm Forum to use Google calendar. I cannot edit these but it is better than nothing and since Classic cannot send items from Holidates to Pre calendar, I will live with this patch.
I love my Pre and carry it everywhere. I have used it worldwide. I use it a lot! It could be so much better and less annoying if some of the above were available.
Oh, and about the battery life...

1. Quickoffice has promised a pay for app that can edit.
5. Have you heard of homebrew and Precentral.net? There's a homebrew app called Save/Restore that will allow you to save application data onto the USB drive where you can offload it to your computer.
7. Continuing with homebrew, there's an app called Internalz that will allow you to browse all of the files on your phone, not just your USB drive.
8. I would recommend using Music (remix) as a music player and TuneIn by RadioTime for radio stations

I have a new Palm Pre Plus - can I have more than one Google G-Mail Account on the phone?

I have a general G-Mail account and it has started getting too busy with advertisements etc. I'm thinking about changing to a different e-mail address but don't know what yet.
I have an old Palm Centro I used to Synch with my laptop. Now I need to do this with G-Mail. So I created a unique g-mail account that would only contain my calendar and contact information - i called it "palm.last name" - made sense to me.
When I try to add it to my Palm Pre Plus I am unable to sign in. I'm wondering if you are limited to the number of Gmail e-mail accounts you can have on the phone. If i can only have 1 then I don't want my e-mail to be "palm.last name" and give that out to people - that would not make sense to them.
I already have a Yahoo Account and I'm thinking about another Yahoo Account to keep some e-mails and instant messages separate from my personal Yahoo. If I cannot add more than 1 account, this is going to be a problem.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
You should be able to add your second Gmail account without any problem...I have two Gmail accounts on my Pre and have no difficulties.
When you say you are unable to "sign in", I assume you mean you are unable to sync the email and calendar on your new account? Double-checking your user name and password are the only things that come to mind.

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

i need it so muchhh!

Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list
