background to gather your information from the various online sources
where you keep it and then display that information in a single view on your
phone. You can access your info quickly without having to remember where
you stored it.
For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email,
contacts, and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your corporate
email, contacts, and events. The Email, Contacts, and Calendar applications
on your Pre 2 phone all provide a view in which you can see information
from both of those accounts in one place—but even though the information
is brought into one view, the sources of that information are kept separate.

Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your
conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style
view. If you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can continue the
same conversation when Ed signs out of IM by sending him a text
message—and you can see it all in the same view. For more information, see
Messaging.

sync with online services so that you can store and sync your info in online
accounts. For more information, see
