It simply didn't work otherwise! It seems from my experiences and those of 
others I have read that you need to experiment sometimes to get them to work. 
A lot of people report needing to press the hotsync button on the palm first 
and in the software second; others the reverse. I found it didn't work with a 
name set, so I just click "no" to set a default name now!

If I can find the time I might help update the documentation. I'm fairly 
experienced in this field, it really depends on how much Uni & campaigning 
work I have, and whether or not I've got more translations coming through for 
a site I help on, newtolinux.org.uk. Further to Carlos' message, I might be 
interested in getting involved in the kdepim quality team.

Perhaps trying to at least update the current documentation in English and 
American English (en_GB & en_US) for 3.2.1 might be a good step. But then 
this is off-topic on a users list :)
