Any easy way to do it, every type of file i try to export as comes up with an error. My 650 is completely broken and all i have left are the contacts that are on my palm desktop. I can get the vcard to work, but i can only do one at a time. Im trying to put them onto a new 750.

Hey there. I posted on another thread a few days ago. I just did this for my wife's Treo 650 to 750. Here are the detailed instructions on what I did:

For your convenience I'll post those steps here:
Specifically my steps:
1) Went in to WindowsXP control panel, clicked on "Mail" settings and deleted the existing outlook profile
2) Ran outlook, created a brand new outlook profile (so it was totally clean for her data.)
3) Uninstalled Palm Desktop (was set up to sync with Palm Desktop Only)
4) Deleted (well renamed) the C:\\program files\palm directory (left over files after uninstall.)
5) Installed Palm Desktop, chose "sync with outlook" during install.
6) Synced the 650 up with outlook.
7) Installed MS Activesync
8) Plugged in the Treo 750 and Activesync synced it with the Treo 750.
You will, of course, now have all of your calendar, contacts, taks, and memos on the 750 (unless you chose not to sync those items, it should give you a choice of what to sync or what not to.)
