Synchronization
and backup
The Sony Ericsson PC Suite lets you
synchronize your phone with common
computer applications (local synchronization)
and make backups of data.
Without using the Sony Ericsson PC Suite you
can synchronize your phone over a mobile
network with a remote server (remote
synchronization).
Tip
For calendar and task entries there is
another backup possibility — to copy these to
and from the Memory Stick. See
Synchronization and backup on page 41 and
Synchronization and backup on page 61
respectively for more information.
Local synchronization
Local synchronization is between your phone
and a connected computer. Email, contacts,
calendar events, tasks, notes (text only), and
browser bookmarks can be synchronized this
way.
Note:
The Sony Ericsson PC Suite must be
installed on the computer and the chosen
connection method must have been set up in
the phone, see Connections on page 81.
To synchronize, connect your phone to the
computer using a USB, Bluetooth or infrared
connection.
Note:
If you are using a USB connection,
select the
Phone mode
setting.
On the computer, select
Start > Programs >
