i havnt tried to do a backup,..but,..the program saves your contacs and stuff for ya,..ill have to see if theres a way to drag them to a folder or something later when i get time

firebert, you beat me to it.  I was just coming to post about the New PC Studio IB5

This one has everything included, its not just iTunes wanabe like the one that come with the impression.

I have been able to backup my contacts as well as sync my calender.

I have experiment more to see how it fairs with outlook.  It fairs very well, I am also using Google Calendar Sync, to sync with the online google calender.

I only have to sync once, as Google Calender Sync checks for new addition in outlook, and syncs them to the online calender automatically.

I added appts in outlook to test this out, and they all synced with the impression flawlessly.  I also add apps to the phone, and again they all synced.

I would say this new pc studios IB5 does what its suppose to do, and now we can backup and update/sync our info without much trouble.

Hey VKitty,

I'm not usually a Google person, so I need a little clarification.  So you're able to sync your Impression calendar wirelessly with your Google Calendar?  Am I understanding right that Google Calendar does an automatic ongoing sync with your Outlook, which in turn automatically syncs with your Impression?  i.e. - you add an appointment in Oulook and it syncs to your phone automatically via Google Calendar & vice-versa?

Thank you all for the excellent advice in this thread.  I now have all my contacts, calendars and memos synced between Outlook and my phone with an extra backup in PC Studio!

So I got the phone to connect and and started syncing my outlook calendar with the phone and ran into two big problems.

1) Events that were entered as re-occurring into Google Calendar, then synced with outlook then synced with the phone wouldn't transfer from outlook to the phone.  In fact it stopped the whole sync process until I tracked down which entry caused the problem and deleted it.  Then I start back up and it fails at the next re-occurring event.

2) 300 Events maximum!!  After 300 events the phone runs out of memory.  I use up 300 events in a month (okay maybe two).  How is that supposed to work.

Anyone get around either of these problems?
