Background

Sony-Ericsson phones, however smart they are, come with a synchronization tool provided by their manufacturer. Those have more or less capabilities though at a minimum they allow synchronizing vital data via a USB connection. However a lot more can be expected from such a tool including browsing data on the phone, sending/receiving, using any connection type (Bluetooth, Infrarer, USB, …), sending SMS, syncing with your email client, note client,  or other meaningful clients, support for open standards, etc.

Recommendations

Our recommendation and by far is a tool named MyPhoneExplorer. It works beautifully with all phones we tried it with and has a very impressive list of features. We have not found manufacturer-provided tools that match its capabilities.

From the software editor:

Features:

• Adress book - with direct sync to Outlook, GMail, Windows contacts, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Lotus Notes and Tobit David
• Organizer with calendar view and direct sync to Outlook, Google, Sunbird, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Windows calendar(Vista), Rainlendar, Lotus Notes, Tobit David and net shared calendars (WebDAV, FTP, local)
• SMS - archive, export, import, excessive messages,...
• File browser with cache system to minimize data transfer, automatic photosync...
• Set phoneclock based on atomtime
• and much more. f.e.: calllists, edit profiles, control phone, memory  status, phonemonitor,...

MyPhoneExplorer is basically compatible with all Phones from Sony Ericsson except XPERIA, P800i, P900i and P910i. Besides this there exists a few Low-Cost-Phones (f.e. T200i) which does not have a PC-Interface. If you are using a Symbian-Phone from SE please note: Its needed to install the PC-Suite first and the connection with MyPhoneExplorer is only possible through USB-Cable.
