I didn’t notice it this weekend, but during one of the syncs, all my contact data went away. [Zoinks!] Thankfully, I had done my faithful Friday-afternoon-backup-not-sync to my office machine, so I have all the contact data I had through Friday afternoon [which is, honestly, everything I need]. Unfortunately, after swapping the conduit to go from Handheld Overwrites Desktop to Desktop Overwrites Handheld, the Treo refuses to sync.

If I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it in the next 24-48 hours, I’ll probably just head over to the Cingular store, see how bad their present phones are, and figure out where to go from there. I might well go away from the smartphone: I’m wondering if the utility of it matches the price for what I’m using it for these days. That I’m even having that thought indicates to me that it doesn’t.
