Setting up synchronization in Windows Mobile Device Center
When you connect your phone to your computer and start Windows Mobile Device Center for the first time, you are asked to create a Windows Mobile partnership with your phone. To create a partnership:
1.Connect your phone to your computer. Windows Mobile Device Center configures itself, then opens.
2.On the license agreement screen, click Accept.
3.On the Windows Mobile Device Center’s Home screen, click Set up your device.

When you finish the setup wizard, Windows Mobile Device Center syncs your phone automatically. Outlook email messages and other information appear on your phone after synchronization.
