Syncing your content

You can keep the content on your mobile device in sync with Nokia Ovi Suite. This means you can access the same content both on your mobile device and on your computer. If you ever lose your device, all your content is safe in Nokia Ovi Suite.

Getting started with sync

The first time you connect your device to the computer, none of your device content is displayed in Nokia Ovi Suite. Start by defining your sync options and by syncing device content. Possible content types to sync are: contacts, photos and videos, messages, calendar and task items, notes, and bookmarks and web feeds.
