Goodbye Palm

Dear Palm OS, you have been with me for a decade, and I’ll miss you. I’ve found a new friend named Blackbery, and, well, let’s not draw this out.

I’ve literally been using Palm OS for ten years and I’m switching to a Blackberry Curve. It’s only been a day and I’m still halfway between bewildered and confident. I’ve got everything up and running: Calendar and Contacts sync with Google, work email comes in, and the GMail app for my personal mail all work.

I can’t figure out how to personalize ringtones. I mean, I found the setting but it doesn’t play when that person calls, it’s just silent. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Anyway, Palm OS, it’s not you, it’s me. I hope your new Web OS on the Pre works out for you.

Here’s one, there are more in the page linked above.
