Synchronization
overview

software and other methods to synchronize
your smartphone and your computer.
When you synchronize, info you enter on
your smartphone, your computer, or your

in the other location. There's no need to
enter the info twice. This is true whether
you sync with your computer using
desktop synchronization software (see

synchronization) or wirelessly with your
company's Exchange server using
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
software (see Setting up wireless
synchronization).

synchronize?

maximize your sync options and sync with
both an Exchange server and desktop sync
software.
