address and other information can be stored. The 
hierarchical phone book in the Z600 is compatible 
with most groupware and agenda programs, such 
as Microsoft Outlook, enabling smooth local syn-
chronization 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 Z600 sup-
ports SyncML.
SyncML, an open standard for remote synchronization 
in the Z600
SyncML – background
The SyncML Initiative Ltd. was founded by Erics-
son, 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 Syn-
cML. 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 applica-
tions, 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. Syn-
cML 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 Z600 SyncML supports remote synchroniza-
tion 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 mini-
mizes 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 synchroni-
zation over WAP, fixed networks, infrared, cable or 
Bluetooth wireless technology.
In the Z600 SyncML enables synchronization over 
WAP – an ultimate solution for travellers.
