Importing Calendar information

You can import calendar information from another calendar program if it uses the iCal or vCal format. The calendar information can be imported from attachments in e-mail messages, SMS text messages, links in Microsoft® Pocket Internet Explorer, or by infrared.

Using Tasks

A task is a personal or work-related project, assignment, or errand to track through completion. A task can occur once or repeatedly. A recurring task can repeat at regular intervals or repeat based on the date you mark the task complete. For example, you might want to pay a bill on the last Friday of every month, or get a haircut when one month has passed since your last haircut.

The task list

The Task list shows your “things to do” list. An item is followed by an exclamation mark if it has been marked as high priority and a down arrow if it has been marked as low priority. Overdue tasks are displayed bold and red on color phones. Completed tasks are displayed with the corresponding check box selected.

Note: If you synchronize Tasks with your desktop PC, completed tasks are removed from your phone after synchronization. They are then displayed in gray with a strikethrough on your desktop PC.
