3.1  About Synchronization

You can take information from your computer wherever you go by synchronizing them to your phone. The following types of information can be synchronized:

•Microsoft Outlook® information, which includes Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes

•Notes, which are created using Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2007

•Media, such as pictures, music and video

•Favorites, which are the bookmarked links to your favorite web sites

•Files, such as documents and other files

Note You can also synchronize Outlook e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks on your phone with the Exchange Server at your work. For more information about setting up your phone to synchronize with the Exchange Server, see Chapter 7.

Before you can synchronize, you will first need to install and set up the synchronization software on your computer. For information about installing and using the synchronization software on your computer, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista” and “Installing and Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” in this chapter.

After installing the synchronization software on your computer, connect the device to your computer using the USB sync cable. Upon connecting the sync cable to your phone and your computer, the synchronization process starts automatically.
