Synchronizing

Synchronizing content between your phone and a computer is an easy and practical way
to share the same contacts, messages, or calendar events on both devices. You can
synchronize in several different ways:
• Sony Ericsson Sync – Synchronize your contacts with a Sony Ericsson account. This way
you can transfer contacts between different phones. You can also use this service to make
backups of your phone contacts.
• Google Sync™ – Synchronize your phone with your Gmail™, Google Calendar™ and
Google™ contacts.
• RoadSync™ – Synchronize with a Microsoft® Exchange Server. This way you can, for
example, synchronize your phone with your company email, contacts and calendar. Your
company or organization must be running Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 or later.
