If you set up synchronisation with your
computer using the desktop sync
software, information in the Favourites
application is synchronised by default as
well. Synchronising Favourites gives you
an easy way to get web favourites from
the web browser on your computer into
the web browser on your smartphone. Just
add them to the folder called Mobile
Favourites, which shows up in your
computer's browser. When you sync, they
become available on your smartphone as
well. Backup copies of any favourites that
you add on the smartphone browser are
also stored in the Mobile Favourites folder.
You can also change settings to
synchronise Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and
PDF files, as well as pictures, music,
videos, and other types of files (see
Changing which applications sync).
The following table lists the types of info
you can synchronise and the methods
to use.
TIP
If you don’t already have Outlook 2003 or
later installed on your computer, you can
install a trial version of Outlook 2007 from the
Windows Mobile Getting Started CD. Insert
the CD into your computer’s CD drive, select
Add Programs (Windows XP) or Bonus
Software (Windows Vista), and then select
the link to download a trial version of
Outlook 2007.
TIP
If you want to synchronise with a personal
information manager (PIM) other than
Microsoft Office Outlook, you must install a
third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor
to learn if software is available for your
smartphone.
