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.
