You can sync with your accounts on popular online services such as Facebook, Twitter, and
Flickr.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter the account information.
When you have finished, the account is added to the list on the Accounts & sync screen.
Depending on how you configured the account, the new information may start synchronising
with your phone.

Synchronising with a Google Account

contacts and calendars between your phone and the web. You also need to sign in to a

Accounts can only synchronise Google Mail and contacts. Other Google services use the first
Google Account you added.
