Lost Ipaq 5450 :o(

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I lost my Ipaq on the train this morning, insured fortunately. I need
to replace it. Can I restore the back up to any model or does it have
to be a 5450? Assuming they are pretty hard to find now, what would
people suggest might be the closest now available? The most important
thing for me is bluetooth to connect via my mobile phone. Thanks.

The best bet would be to borrow a 5540 to run the restore (don't forget
to backup the other guy's device with multiple copies ;-)

Once restored, copy the files out to either a storage card and assure
that your pim data is synced.

If you have registry skills, you can export the entire registry to a
text file, then edit separate registry files containing specific chunks
that relate to program settings and parameters which can then be
imported after you reinstall the apps on your new device.
