"Try to imagine that you have two phones: one is Pre and the other one is Palm OS device"

This is the response from the folks at MotionApps when I asked a question about using Agendus, a contact manager program from Iambic. This PalmOS app will run on the new Palm Pre through the use of Motion Apps' Classic software, I'm told, but it won't be able to access the contact manager that comes with the Pre.

OK, so I buy and new phone and can't use its contact manager. Or, I can give up on Agendus and use the new contact manager. This is assuming that I will be able to port my old PalmOS contacts without a glitch to the new phone. Wouldn't that be a kicker if that becomes a problem?

Another assumption is that the Palm Pre will be a smashing success enough so that the WebOS platform will be around in the next couple of years.

Unless I can see somehow that the Pre will increase my efficiency in the near future, I'll wait.

UPDATE: I updated my Agendus desktop software for Windows, and now it's completely unusable since it crashes everytime. Since this is the faster way to enter data, I'm back to the old Palm desktop software. It's pretty vanilla, but it's been the most reliable.
