Synchronization and backup

With PC Suite for P908 installed in your PC, your P908 can synchronize with the following PC applications, also called Personal Information Managers (PIMs):

Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6

Lotus® Notes® 5.0, 6

Microsoft® Outlook® 98, 2000, 2002

Synchronization is divided into local and remote. Local synchronization is performed directly to a connected PC while remote synchronization is done over the air with a remote server in, for example, a corporate network.

Local synchronization

Bluetooth

IrDA

Cable

The manual describes the easiest way to perform the tasks but you can also carry out most of them by selecting

>Sony Ericsson > P908 in the PC and then select the desired command.

Refer to the online help find in Help in the menu bar in the PC software to get more information about synchronization and backup.

Note If you have imported SIM phone book entries into Contacts in your P908, these entries will not be synchronized with the corresponding entries in your PC when synchronising your P908 and PC. You will instead get duplicates in your P908.

Local synchronization is done with either cable, infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology. The functionality is the same.

E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Jotter notes (only text) can be synchronized locally.

Local synchronization settings

Local synchronization is initiated from the PC and all settings are made in the P908 PC software (included on the PC Suite for

P908 CD).
