This is the followup for my previous post, which was synchronization for iphone, which targets a large potion of the rest of the phones in the market. There are two ways you can sync and backup your contacts and i will try and explain both of them to you.

Supporting Devices

• Nokia Symbian S60 3rd Edition (e.g. E-Series, most N-Series, 6120, 6121)
• Nokia Symbian S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2 or higher (e.g. 6630, 6680, N70, N90, etc.)
• Most Sony Ericsson phones

It may aswell support many other mobile phone devices. Check your mobile phone manual for SyncML support, if it does give this a try.

SyncML for contacts

Once you have verified that your mobile device supports SyncML, follow the following simple guide to setup and sync your contacts.

NOTE: Names of places in the phone may defer according to the brand of your mobile phone.

• Open ‘Organizer’ from mobile phone ‘Menu’ and select ‘Synchronization’
• Click ‘New Account’ and choose ‘SyncML’ as ‘Account type’
• Give it a name (eg: Google Contact Sync)
• On the ‘General’ tab, enter the following values:
  • Server address: https://m.google.com/syncml
  • Username: your Google Account username, (eg: you@gmail.com)
  • Password: your Google password
• On the ‘Applications’ tab mark ‘Contacts’ only
• On the ‘App. settings’ tab select ‘Contacts’
• For ‘Database name’ enter ‘contacts’ (lower case), leave other fields blank
• On the ‘Advanced’ tab, enter the following settings:
  • Sync. interval: choose how frequently you would like to synchronize with Google.
  • Allow Connection: Leave this as ‘Home network’, unless you also wish to synchronize while roaming internationally.
  • Connection: Click on ‘Connect using:’ and select the Internet access point for your carrier. Leave other settings unchanged.
  • Secure Connection: On
  • Leave other settings unchanged
• Click ‘Back’ and select ‘Yes’ to save your changes
• Highlight your new account and press ‘Start’

Thats it. Now all your contacts will be in sync backed up to your gmail account as per the settings you have made.
