The first PDA I got was a Zire 21 about a month ago. I week later I
bought a Tungsten E. I also thought it would be easier to keep the same
name for my new Palm. I went to Palm's web site and followed the
procedure they  made available. I'm fairly certain the process would be
the same for switching to a Garmin. I didn't have any problems and I had
to do it twice as my husband also upgraded from a Palm Zire 21 to a
Tungsten E. You probably just simply missed a step. I'd go to Palm's site
or maybe Garmin's to see if they have troubleshooting the error you got
in their FAQ.
