Section 3: Synchronization
This section describes Using Microsoft ® ActiveSync ® , you can
synchronize data on your desktop computer with the data on
your phone. Synchronization compares the data on your phone
with your desktop computer and updates both your phone and
computer with the latest data.
With ActiveSync, you can:
• Keep Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, or Inbox data up-to-date by
synchronizing your phone with Microsoft® Outlook data on your
desktop computer.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your phone and desktop
computer.
• Control the moment when synchronization occurs by selecting a
