Palm Pre

[mswilson]

It looks like the Palm Pre will handle the Exchange ActiveSync protocol out of the box. I'm really hoping that things will Just Work with Zimbra. I don't know if they'll be supporting multiple calendars (like iPhone can).

Is anyone at Zimbra hooked up with Palm to get specifics on the Pre capabilities?

I'm hoping so as well. All the specs I've read says that it will support EAS out of the box, so I assume Palm is continuing to license the activesync protocol from Microsoft, same as how they do on Versamail.

As soon as the Pre comes out, and I know it works with Zimbra I'll going switching from my Sprint Q9c to the Pre right away. It looks pretty sweet!!!

I'm happy to report that everything is working nicely with the Palm Prē that I picked up over the weekend! It doesn't seem to see multiple calendars like the iPhone does, but since you can sync Google Calendar and Zimbra at the same time, I don't need it!

It took me a bit to figure out how to get my self-signed cert on there, but once that was behind me there were no problems.

I've noticed the same thing which is a huge problem for my boss. Anyone know if this is a Zimbra or a Pre issue?

It's a Microsoft issue, Activesync doesn't support multiple calendars.

How does the iPhone do it if ActiveSync doesn't support it?

So how did you get the certificate working on the Pre? I'm stuck.

We're using a signed certificate from RapidSSL. While we have a wildcard certificate for our domain, we have one specifically for our mail server. RapidSSL charges $69/year, but if you buy a cheap certificate say from GoDaddy for $29.99/year, you can do a competitive upgrade to RapidSSL for free. (The GoDaddy certificate did not work with the Palm OS based Treos, so we went with RapidSSL.)

Connected my phone to my laptop, set it in USB mode and copied my ROOT Cert to the phone. The installed the cert to the certificate store in the phone. See this link for help: Palm Support : Installing self-signed certificates
