On your smartphone and on your computer: You can set up a sync relationship between your smartphone and selected desktop organizers. Different kinds of sync relationships are possible using third-party solutions. This enables you to create and change data in one place—on your smartphone or in the desktop organizer—and have it show up in both places.

On your smartphone only: Store and create contact and calendar data in your Palm profile account. It’s backed up to your Palm profile in the cloud. You cannot create, change, or look at your Palm profile account data except on your smartphone.

NOTE Data that you store in your Palm profile account cannot be accessed anywhere but on your smartphone. Palm profile account data is backed up daily. No one, not even you, can see that data.

What do we recommend? We recommend that you set up a Google account and move your contacts and calendar data to the cloud. That way, you can access, create, and change your data both on your smartphone and in your Google online account. The remaining personal data that you create on your smartphone—tasks and memos—are automatically backed up as part of your Palm profile.

These solutions are not mutually exclusive. Do what works best for you. You could potentially use all these solutions. You could, for example, sync several online accounts, including an Exchange account; sync data with a desktop organizer using a third-party solution; and store and create new data in your Palm profile account.
