Can I ask that people not use Sprint to setup their contacts at the store, please. There’s going to be tons of people in line, so let’s just get in and get out as quickly as possible!

Google Contacts uses a single field to store the entire address as opposed to the discrete fields (street, city, state, …) that PalmOS and most PIMs use. How does WebOS do it? If WebOS does discrete fields, how does sync-ing (synergy-ing ?) work with Google?

Google Contacts was recently updated to include new fields such as “birthday”. Will these new fields sync to WebOS?

@mikemick that’s a great question! i’d like to know as well. i’ve read/heard that the autobackup happens daily, but i haven’t read or heard anything about data synching interval for normal data entry/inputs.

Any clue if this will work with contacts that are hosted on gmail, but with google apps, using our company’s domain? i seem to have problems with a lot of thing that are gmail compatible, because we us google apps, but our login address is at our domain.com, not gmail.com.

Few questions I had were, how often is the device synced to your cloud contacts? Is there a timed-interval,or do they update your local data everytime you open up the contacts app?

Also, for some of the people concerned above, it has been mentioned elsewhere that the Sprint store can setup your initial contact list for you . I’m not sure how in-depth their complimentary 1st time sync service is, but it might be worth checking out for some of you guys.

@angel

Gee, you’re so smart yet so naive. Why can’t you understand that everyone isn’t necessarily keen on the idea of putting all of their info out in the cloud 24/7? Think about how much data Palm will have from everyone who gets the Pre. For a company that is as close to going out of business as they are, that’s a lot of info to sell off to the highest bidders when it come time to shut the doors.

I’m sure the fine print in the acceptance agreement will put your mind at ease…
