Synchronisation and data transfer
To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their
important information with them. Equipping mobile
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)
programs like calendars, task lists and phonebooks
gives users access to their most important data
anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing it with the information at
the office or at home. The growing use of
SyncML – an open standard for synchronization
SyncML background
Leading the way in providing remote
synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes
that interoperability of remote synchronization is of
utmost importance if mobile data usage is to
become as widespread as generally predicted.
That is why Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus,
Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and
Starfish Software, founded the SyncML initiative in
February 2000. Supported by more than 600
software and hardware developers, the SyncML
initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally
open standard for remote synchronization, called
SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization
platforms, SyncML is an open industry
specification that offers universal interoperability.
Since it uses a common language, called XML, for
specifying the messages that synchronize devices
and applications, SyncML has been called the only
truly future-proof platform for enabling reliable and
immediate update of data. The benefit for the end
user is that SyncML can be used almost anywhere
and in a wide variety of devices, regardless of
application or operating system.

groupware such as Microsoft™ Outlook™ means
that more and more meetings are booked
electronically in daily business life.
W950 uses the SyncML 1.2 protocol for
synchronization. This means that it has the
compatibility to synchronize with a wide variety of
devices over a number of different communications
media.
W950 uses SyncML for both local synchronization
(with a PC using Bluetooth™ connectivity or a
cable connection) and remote synchronization over
HTTP.
