[DM-MUG] Q ref. synching and replacement phone...what to do...

[Victoria L. Herring]

I hate to sound stupid, but it's not the lst time and here I go = I
was having problems with my Verizon Kyocera 7135 phone and took it to
the local store = they just gave me a brand, new phone (excellent
service) - but I'm not really clear on what I need to do properly to
get the new Veriz. phone to be a true clone of the old one.  Of
course, I do have all my data backed up etc...

The new phone is new and has Palm software on it just fine (it also
has a better color display!) - before i mess it up, i want to be sure
of what I am doing ...so some stupid Q...

1.  do I first run the Hot Sync manager so I can get the phone in
shape as a palm and have all the software there OR
2.  do I do a simple Restore all devices and just let the computer
backup info restore everyone on the Kyocera?
3.  If I have this new Kyocera do I have to deregister or erase the
old Kyocera in the iSync and Hot Sync Manager data memory and just
create a new one and back up or restore to it?  Or leave it as if it
is already there and just needs data replacing?

I remember doing something like this awhile ago and had major
problems so I want ot do it right - do I just treat it as a new
device (in which case restoring the data won't work since it is
'new') or do I treat it as a cleaned off old device, the Kyo, and
just restore it as if nothign ever happened.

Thanks for any help with this = the iSync info didn't help at site or
discussions so thought would ask here....
