Remote synchronization
Remote synchronization takes place over the air
using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep G900 up
to date. 3G enables a fast connection to the
network – the synchronization can be started in
seconds.
Synchronization services are 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 capability.
Server alerted synchronization
If updates are made on the computer the server
automatically notifies G900. The updates are
automatically synchronized to G900. A remote
server can initiate a synchronization with G900
using WAP Push.
Local synchronization
G900 is supplied with PC software for local
synchronization. It may be installed from the
supplied CD or downloaded from the Web. For
more information on PC Suite, see PC Suite for
Sony Ericsson on page 50.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology
or cable
G900 always synchronizes using SyncML,
regardless the connection type. It can be
connected via a Bluetooth™ connection or a USB
cable. The cable is connected directly to the phone
or via a desktop charger connector.
Synchronization capacity
G900 meets the standard performance
requirement to synchronize the following number of
items “within a reasonable time”:
Automatic synchronization
Synchronization can be configured to start
automatically, given that a suitable synchronization
program is running on the other device:
• When the USB cable is plugged in to G900.
• When Bluetooth wireless technology is acti-
vated on both devices and they come into oper-
ating range.
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the
synchronization engine is an application that runs
on the PC. The synchronization engine compares,
