and quick exchange of business cards, calendar
events and melodies with other phones and devices.
Synchronize calendar and phone book
In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and
addresses of friends and business colleagues is greatly
appreciated. To be truly mobile, users must be able to
carry their important information with them. Equipping
mobile phones with Personal Information Manager
(PIM) programs such as calendars, to-do lists and
address books gives users access to their most important
data anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing with the information at the
office or at home.
Hierarchical phone book with contacts
The T610/612 features a hierarchical phone book. For
every contact, details such as name, home, work and
mobile numbers, pager number, e-mail address and other
information can be stored. The hierarchical phone book
in the T610/612 is compatible with most groupware and
agenda programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, enabling
smooth local synchronization of contact information
between the phone and a PC, via cable, Bluetooth
wireless technology or IR. For remote synchronization of
Contacts and Calendar over WAP, the T610/612 supports
SyncML.
SyncML, an open standard for remote synchronization in the
T610/612
SyncML – background
The SyncML Initiative Ltd. was founded by Ericsson,
IBM, Lotus, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc.,
Psion and Starfish Software in February 2000. Supported
by more than 60 software and hardware developers, the
SyncML Initiative Ltd. seeks to develop and promote a
globally open standard for remote synchronization,
called SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization
platforms, SyncML is an open industry specification that
offers universal interoperability. Because it uses a
common language, called XML, for specifying the
messages that synchronize devices and applications,
SyncML has been called the only truly future-proof
platform for enabling reliable and immediate update of
data. The benefit for the end user is that SyncML can be
used almost anywhere and in a wide variety of devices,
regardless of application or operating system.
What is SyncML?
SyncML is the common language for synchronizing all
devices and applications over any network. SyncML
leverages Extensible Markup Language (XML), making
SyncML a truly future-proof platform. With SyncML
any personal information, such as e-mail, calendars, to-
do lists, contact information and other relevant data, will
be consistent, accessible and up to date, no matter where
the information is stored. For example, a calendar entry
made to a mobile device on a business trip is equally
available to a secretary in a network calendar. SyncML is
the ultimate choice for remote synchronization.
In the T610/612, SyncML supports remote
synchronization of the calendar and phone book,
designed for the requirements of the wireless world
SyncML is designed specifically with the wireless
world’s tight requirements in mind. SyncML minimizes
the use of bandwidth and can deal with the special
challenges of wireless synchronization, such as relatively
low connection reliability and high network latency.
SyncML supports synchronization over WAP, fixed
networks, infrared, cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
In the T610/612, SyncML enables synchronization over
WAP – an ultimate solution for travellers.
