Sync

The

Sync

application enables you to synchronize your calendar or contacts with various calendar and address book applications

on a compatible computer or remote Internet server. Your settings (what data is synchronized, what connection method is

used) are saved to a synchronization profile, which is then used while synchronizing.

Tip: You may receive the synchronization settings as a message from your service provider.

The application uses SyncML technology for remote synchronization. For information on SyncML compatibility, contact the

supplier of the applications with which you want to synchronize your device.
