If you have exactly the same model with the same RAM and ROM you might try the following (don't know if it works or if the program will recognize the second device as a different machine and refuses to restore). Also make sure that you have the exact same ROM version. Not just WM 6.0 but the same user ROM version from the same cook.

1.)Get an evaluation copy of Sprite Backup from handango.com or elsewhere.
2.)Make a complete system backup of the working one (with all settings, etc) to your SD or CF card.
3.)Install Sprite Backup to the PDA you are having problems with, stick your SD card into the expansion slot, and then do a complete system restore.

That is the "non-geek" method. I am sure that there are special programs to do just that, since some companies buy 100s or 1000s of WM devices and set them up automatically.
