To use your Palm
®
Pre™ phone, you must
agree to Palm’s terms and conditions
and create a Palm profile—do so by
entering a work
ing
email address.
Why do I need a Palm profile?
A Palm profile gives you access to
services like automatic updates, backup
of your data, and more.
Setting up a Palm profile is different from
setting up email on your phone. To set
up email, see page 11.

See pages 17–18.
Your phone’s Synergy™ feature displays
data from several sources in a single
view, but keeps the sources of your
data separate.
Lets say you use Google calendar for
your personal appointments and your
company's Outlook calendar for
business appointments. Your phone’s
Calendar application can display
appointments from both calendars in
a single view.
Likewise, if you set up multiple email
accounts, the Email application lets you
display the messages from all your
account inboxes in a single view.
And in Messaging, all your messages
with a person s
how
up in a single
conversation view, whether they are text,
multimedia, or instant messages.
The Contacts application also offers
a merged view—you can see all your
contacts from all your accounts in a
single list. But more than that, Contacts
lets you see all your information for a
person in a single view—even if that
information comes from multiple sources.
For example, lets say you have a work
contact in Exchange ActiveSync and a
personal contact for the same person in
Google. Contacts automatically
recognizes the connectio
n and links the
two contacts so that you can see all the
information in one place. You can also
manually link and unlink contacts.
Tap an icon to open an application.
Quick Launch: Displays up to five icons.
You can open the Quick Launch from
any screen. Drag out any icon except
Launcher and then drag in another one.
Launcher: Displays all your apps (when
you open the Launcher, Quick Launch
appears also). Scroll up and down to see
the whole page, and left and right to see
all pages.
See the Gesture Guide to learn how to
access Quick Lau
nch
and the Launcher.
I’ve finished setup. Can I use my
phone?
Your phone is ready to use! Go ahead
and make calls (see pages 1718), set up
email (see page 11), and use all the other
applications on your phone.
If you see a notification that an update is
available, tap Install Now to install it.
Palm periodically sends updates to
enhance the applications and features
on your phone.
How do I transfer data from my
computer?
On your computer, look for an email at
the address you used for your Palm
profile. Click the link in the email to verify
yo
ur
Palm profile. The link takes you to a
website where you can do a one-time
data transfer to your phone from
selected desktop organizers like Palm
®
Desktop and Outlook
®
. This transfer is
the way to get the data from your old
Palm smartphone to your Pre phone.
Activate your phone before you turn it
on (see previous page). Press and hold
the power button until you see a logo.
Wait for setup to start (please be patient).
To slide out the keyboard, hold the phone
in both hands and gently push up with
your thumbs.
Use of this device requires providing a valid email address,
mobile phone number, and related information for account
setup and activation. A data plan is also required. Unlimited
usage data plan strongly recommended or additional data
charges may apply.

If you purchased your phone at a
Sprint Store, it is probably activated

.
If you received your phone in the mail
and it is a new Sprint account or a
new phone number, your phone is
designed to activate automatically
once you have completed setup
(see page 4).
If you received your phone in the mail
and you are switching the number
from a previous Sprint phone, do not
turn on your new phone yet. First,
go to sprint.com/activate on your
computer's Web browser and follow
the instructions to activate the
number on your new phone.
If you have any problems with activation,
contact Sprint Customer Service at
1-888-211-4727 from another phone.
