Local synchronization
Sony Ericsson P1 is supplied with PC software for
local synchronization. It may be installed from the
supplied PC Suite CD.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology,
infrared or cable
Sony Ericsson P1 always synchronizes using
SyncML, regardless of connection type. It
connects via Bluetooth™ wireless technology,
infrared or cable. The cable is connected directly to
the phone or via the desktop charger connector.
Synchronization capacity
Sony Ericsson P1 meets the standard performance
requirement to synchronize the following number of
items “within a reasonable time”:
Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation 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 Sony Eric-
sson P1.
• When Bluetooth wireless technology is acti-
vated on both devices and they come into oper-
ating range.
• When infrared is activated on both devices and
the infrared sensors are aligned.
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.
Compatibility
The PC Suite software, supplied with the phone,
enables synchronization with the following
