[NTLUG:Discuss] PCS phone's calendar sync

[Matt]

The Sprint Treo 300 will work like a palm.  Once you have added the
address book info, you can even set those people up for speed dial.  the
xfer should work like any palm OS based unit and the cable is USB so you
should be set with that.  Even nicer is the fact that they already have
some programs to talk to the plam OS in linux - we just got the 300 for my
wife and the vision plan is not requred to use the calendar as it is part
of the palm os and the addy book used to let you dial right from the
contacts.  Hope this helps.
