[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I've taken an entirely different route since going to Android in February. I started out testing DejaOffice, which worked pretty good while syncing with Palm Desktop 6.2. I then purchased Pimlical for Android (PfA) and they worked good together. I bet you remember the DateBK6 funny codes that are put on the Palm Desktop in the Notes field, which was fine, you just didn't play with them. PfA does the same thing. Then I got the idea from looking at the Pimlical for Windows Desktop (PfWD) that it would be real cool to have the old Palm Dbk6 on the desktop along with PfA. The organizer apps are real important to me in my work and personal life, this is what I bought the Android device for, and it looked as though the two would work great together. So I gave it a test. This was a big mistake. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I could never get the data to sync accurately. Duplicates showed up, contacts wouldn't sync addresses, To Dos and Memos wouldn't sync properly, and on and on. It was a mess. I played with it for hours, and days, looking for solutions. I couldn't get it resolved. I probably would have gone back to DejaOffice and Palm Desktop had I not stumbled on something I liked better.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]While in the middle of this debacle I discovered two apps that I tried and worked perfect for me. MyPhoneExplorer and B-Folders. I got rid of DejaOffice, PfWD restored my device, and have settled on these two apps to keep me organized. 2 months later, no problems. One thing I did through this process was keep separate backups of my Palm Organizer, and did my experimenting on a spare computer while using my ailing Palm TX as my organizer so as to not screw up my data that I've used for years. I also kept my Android device clean until I was sure of the path that would work for me. That took a few "device wipes". This gave me some time to learn the Android OS before moving my data. It was a real learning experience.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The most important things to me are Contacts, Calendar and Memos. Memos with password protection was real important. And they must be able to reliably sync directly to my PC. If I had been able to get DejaOffice to work with a minimum of problem it would have been perfect. It worked great until I tried to get it to work with PfWD. After experiencing how flawless MyPhoneExplorer and B-Folders synced, it was hard to go back to DejaOffice.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Here's my current set up for staying organized, with pros (+) and cons (-):[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]MyPhoneExplorer (Contacts and Calendar)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Free, and ad free (although donations are accepted, which I highly recommend)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Flawless synchronization. I have successfully synced 1 device on 2 pc's with no issues to date.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Desktop to edit data[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Backup options to backup device. This is really useful.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- Todos and Memos are very basic, but still useful. I use B-Folders for this.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- No security (password protection). But that's what B-Folders does for me.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]B-Folders (Memos and ToDos)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Excellent password protection[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Palm Memo data easily imported[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Flawless synchronization. I have successfully synced 1 device on 2 pc's with no issues to date.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Good search capability.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Easy import of Memos[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Recently updated. Now has new useful features for ToDos, Contacts, daily agenda, and other things I have only begun to use. I really like this app![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- ToDos have no easy import from Palm Desktop, but this wasn't a concern for me because I deleted them when finished. Not much to do here.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- Doesn't seem to work with native Android Contacts.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Pimlical for Android[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Floating events[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Good calendar app, syncs perfectly through MyPhoneExplorer[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Contact linking, but limited[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]- Contacts, memos, and todos not supported as in Dbk6[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Contact Lookup Fast (I needed better Contact search ability)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]+ Excellent app to search Contacts. Native Android search didn't cut it for me.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]To answer your question, I'm happy with PfA. But it only slightly resembles the old Dbk6. I think a lot has to do with whether you want to work directly with your PC or through "the cloud". If you want to sync with your PC, I am very happy with my setup after using it for a couple months. I have no experience working in the cloud, which many others do. If the cloud is the direction you plan, other solutions may be better.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Here's a couple links I would suggest looking at. I followed this and others before settling on my setup:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]What is it that you want your Android to do? Do you want to sync to your PC? What apps from the Dbk6 were most important to you?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Hope this is some help.[/FONT]
