Has anyone upgraded from a 700P

I've got a new vista computer.
I'm trying to synch my old 700p to a Palm desktop using vista OS so that I can then synch with my new centro.
I can't get the 700P to synch past the datebook. It tries to synch to the datebook and stays in that mode forever.
The net net is, I can't get my PIM data and programs from the 700P to synch, so I can't download them all to my new Centro.
The Centro doesn't take SD cards, it takes the micro SD cards, so I can't move everything using BackupBuddy from the card.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

I don't know about using backupbuddy to transfer info from a 700 to the centro, but strictly looking at the micro sd to sd issue, there are adaptors that go from sd to micro sd, that that part of it shouldn't be a problem, just a matter of buying the adaptor. Good luck and let us know if you find out anything else about the Vista issues.

I have vista and was able to hotsync my 700p to Palm desktop. It was a pain, but I used the Update you can download from Palm.

As far as migrasting to the Centro. I used my computer to copy my SD card to my desktop and then copied it to the MicroSD card (Via the microsd adapter that came with the card.) Then I just used Backup Buddy to restore all my stuff to the Centro via microSD.

Then when I had a little more time I hotsync'd my centro to Palm desktop (centro overwrites desktop). I was able to use my old hotsync cradle (an 680 cradle that works with 700p and Centro)

I do hate that I can't sync outlook anymore.

I'm syncing on Vista with outlook using Chapura Pocketmirror and I've had no problems.
