Sony Ericsson Cell Phone Synchronising

Synchronising

You can synchronise your phone in two different ways: using a computer program, or using

an Internet service.

synchronisation.

If Internet Explorer is not installed or is not the default web browser, the default folder for

the bookmarks is My Documents/Sony Ericsson PC Suite/Bookmarks.

you set how often the phone will synchronise with the computer.
