Chapter 3 : Transferring data

I’m already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!,
and/or Microsoft Exchange

If you are already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and/or Exchange to
manage your calendar and contacts, then all you need to do is set up one or
more of these accounts on your phone.

NOTE

Changes you make in your Yahoo! or Facebook account on the web

show up on your phone. Contacts and calendar events you add or change on

your phone, however, do not automatically update your Yahoo! or Facebook

account on the web.

1

Open

Contacts

.

2

Enter the account credentials for your Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, or
Exchange account. See

Use Contacts for the first time

.

NOTE

You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that’s

done automatically using the credentials you entered in Contacts.

I want to keep using my current desktop app
and sync with an online account on my phone

If you want to continue using a desktop app to store your contacts, calendar
events, and tasks—iCal and Address Book on the Mac, or desktop Outlook

®

or Palm

®

Desktop by ACCESS on Windows—consider adopting this

solution.

Download and install a third-party application (sold separately) that can
sync your desktop app to Google. Your desktop app syncs with your Google
account, and then the Synergy feature takes over to sync your Google
account, and your phone also syncs with Google.

1

On your computer, set up an account on the Google website (go to

gmail.com

).
