Remote Synchronization

Remote synchronization takes place over the air using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep the phone up to date. Using EDGE/GPRS, the phone can be continuously connected to the remote synchronization server.

Synchronization services will be offered by third-party service providers and as added capability to corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM applications such as Microsoft® Exchange can be supplemented with SyncML capabil- ity.

Local Synchronization

You can download PC software for local synchronization by visiting www.sonyericsson.com.

Cable

The phone always synchronizes using SyncML, regardless of connection type. It connects via cable. The cable is connected either directly to the phone or to the desktop charger.

Intelligent process

A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local synchronization, the synchronization engine is an application that runs on the desktop computer. The synchronization engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the information in the phone is the same as that in the computer.
