Tip: How to Set Up Picture Caller ID on Palm OS Treos

By SmartPhoneToday Staff
May 22, 2007

With Palm's most recent Palm platform (Garnet OS) Treos - the 700p, 680 and (likely) the new 755p - you can choose to associate a photo with a caller and have that picture appear when that individual calls and in the smartphone's Contacts application.

Here's how to do it:

First:

1-Go to Applications
2-Launch Contacts and open the contact you want to give a caller ID photo
3-Select Edit
4- Select the Picture box


                   Picture Box

Then Do one of the following:

A-Select Camera to take a picture and add it to this contact entry when you save the photo

or

B-Select Photos and choose an existing picture that you want to assign to this contact.

After performing A or B, select Done.

When that individual calls you now on, from any of the phone numbers you have listed for that particular contact (e.g. Home, Mobile, Work etc.), a photo of that person will appear on your Treo's display.

  •  If you've already got pictures assigned to contacts in Microsoft Outlook or the Palm Desktop, those photos are automatically added to contact entries on your Treo when you install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD.
