White paper G900 Remote synchronization Remote synchronization takes place over the air using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep G900 up to date. 3G enables a fast connection to the network - the synchronization can be started in seconds. Synchronization services are offered by third-party service providers and as added capability to corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM applications, such as Microsoft® Exchange, can be supplemented with SyncML capability. Server alerted synchronization If updates are made on the computer the server automatically notifies G900. The updates are automatically synchronized to G900. A remote server can initiate a synchronization with G900 using WAP Push. Local synchronization G900 is supplied with PC software for local synchronization. It may be installed from the supplied CD or downloaded from the Web. For more information on PC Suite, see PC Suite for Sony Ericsson on page 50. Synchronization capacity G900 meets the standard performance requirement to synchronize the following number of items "within a reasonable time": Contacts Calendar items Notes Tasks Email messages Bookmarks 2000 1000 500 500 1000 500 Bluetooth™ wireless technology or cable G900 always synchronizes using SyncML, regardless the connection type. It can be connected via a Bluetooth™ connection or a USB cable. The cable is connected directly to the phone or via a desktop charger connector. Automatic synchronization Synchronization can be configured to start automatically, given that a suitable synchronization program is running on the other device: • When the USB cable is plugged in to G900. • When Bluetooth wireless technology is acti- vated on both devices and they come into operating range. Intelligent process A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local synchronization, the synchronization engine is an application that runs on the PC. The synchronization engine compares, 48 September 2008
