Bluetooth™ wireless technology,
infrared or cable
P990i always synchronizes using SyncML, regard-
less of connection type. It connects via Blue-
tooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable. The
cable is connected directly to the phone or via the
desktop charger connector.
Automatic synchronisation
Synchronisation can be configured to start auto-
matically, given that a suitable synchronisation pro-
gram must be running on the other device:
• When the USB cable is plugged in to P990i.
• When P990i is placed in to the Desk Stand and
the Desk Stand is connected to the other
device.
• When Bluetooth is activated on both devices
and they come into operating range.
• When infrared is activated on both devices and
the infrared sensors are aligned.
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of syn-
chronizing. For local synchronization, the synchro-
nization engine is an application that runs on the
desktop computer. The synchronization engine
compares, updates and resolves conflicts to
ensure that the information in the phone is the
same as that in the computer.
Compatibility
The PC software, supplied with the phone, enables
synchronization with the following applications:
• Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
Express 4.0, 5.x.
• Microsoft
®
Exchange.
• Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
2000, 2002, 2003.
• Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer 5.0 and 6.0 (for
Bookmark synchronization).
• Lotus Notes

• Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 (SP4) or XP Profes-
sional or Home (SP2).
• Minimum recommended hardware configuration
for the version of Windows in use.
File transfer utility
A utility is provided which enables files to be trans-
ferred to and from P990i connected to a PC. Typi-
cal uses for this include:
• Archiving pictures taken on P990i to PC stor-
age.
• Moving images to P990i to use in personaliza-
tion, MMS messages etc.
• Storing MP3 files on P990i or the Memory
stick™.
• Moving sound clips to/from P990i for personal-
ization.
• Store work documents (Word, Excel) on P990i
to read on the move.
Backup and restore
Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Note
that the Desk Stand or the USB cable must be
used for backup. Infrared or Bluetooth wireless
technology cannot be used for this. Files in the user
data area (which includes loaded third party appli-
cations) are backed up to PC storage.
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC
and places it back on to P990i.
Language change utility
P990i has a larger, richer UI compared to an ordi-
nary mobile phone. Applications often have help
information. Consequently, it is impractical to store
languages on the phone. To facilitate a language
change, a PC utility is provided which enables the
required language to be loaded on P990i. The Lan-
guage Change Utility is not available for Chinese
models.
Software installation utility
This utility enables P990i applications to be
installed from the PC.
Internet wizard
This utility assists the user to create 3G, GPRS,
HSCSD and CSD connection definitions for Inter-
net and email use. All the necessary information
can be entered in a logical way. Set infrared status
to Modem in the Control Panel to use this facility
over infrared.
