Installed this upgrade and now I'm getting fatal errors in Phonebook and SMS. Handspring states that it's a third party software issue, so I'm essentially going to have to remove them one at a time until I work it out.

Thanks tons, Handspring.

Thanks!

Thanks; I'm up and running after I deleted GSM_Library.prc from my backup directory.

Be sure to backup shareware before updating!!!

At the risk of restating the obvious:

While the install of the update went smoothly on my Treo 180,
I noticed that some of my favorite shareware games/utils
had vanished. Examples: BigClock, SFCave, and even DopeWars (gasp!). Fortunately, I've kept my Prism alive since receiving the Treo (hey, that droid and I have been through a lot) and I just beamed the apps. back over.

My grasping-at-straws theory on this is that the aformentioned applications don't have seperate data files, thus are not caught and preserved by the HS pre-patch backup process.

As an aside: wasn't there a utility years ago called "Ripcord" or something that basically kept a complete mirror image of your Pilot? Is there a similar animal available today (especially now that their is no hardware Backup module for Treo)?

I'll second Backup Buddy. It's a superb application which, IMHO, does everything that HotSync should do.
