so the titanium backup/restore method phone-to-PE for getting market+talk to work, well, worked. yay.

but one thing I still notice is, that if I use gchat on e.g. my desktop (thru pidgin, gmail, whatever) then the phone will post-hoc sync gtalk with every message from the (desktop) conversation. and the PE will as well.

but if I use chat on my phone, or if I use it on the PE, whatever messages were sent/received on one, don't appear/sync on the other. i.e. - gtalk seems to think they are the same device and therefore don't need to sync up.

this isn't particularly surprising, given the method involves using the same data for the backup/restore. but still a little annoying.

probably there's an entry in the sqlite dbs somewhere, that will make the 2 id as different devices. will try to look for it but sort of a haystack there.

I imagine others have seen the same behavior, but please report back if you have or haven't...

thanks!
