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.

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 synchronization
mode.
• Select data types to be synchronized and control the amount of synchronized data.

synchronizes two devices using the latest data.Therefore, if you delete
some specific data from the phone after synchronization, and then perform a synchronization
again, the corresponding data on the computer is deleted. Be careful not to lose important data.
