Synchronizing Information
Some applications (for example, Gmail ) on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change, or delete your information in any of these applications on the web, the updated information also appears on your mobile phone.
This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process occurs in the background and does not interfere with the use of your mobile phone. When your phone is synchronizing, a data synchronization icon will be shown in the notification bar.
