Ovi Sync

Most mobile users have never had the need to undertake PIM synchronization. PIM refers to personal information, such as contacts, calendars, and to-do lists. Normally, these are stored in computers as it’s easier to manage them from there. However, it’s becoming more and more necessary to have all this information on your mobile phone, making it easier for you to access it whenever you want. There are two options for this; you could either enter the data in your phone manually, or you could enter the information using your computer and then synchronize the data with your phone. The latter is much easier to do, and it also allows you to make any changes to both devices easily.

Ovi Sync

Ovi Sync is a service offered by Nokia which allows you to store your PIM information in your Ovi page. The advantage of doing this is that since the Ovi page is online, you have no risk of losing any of your information if you lost your phone or laptop. You can access your contacts, calendar, and to-do lists any time, as long as you have an internet connection. However, it may not be very convenient to always go to your Ovi page to keep checking or editing your PIM data. This is where Ovi Sync comes in.

Benefits of Ovi Sync

Most of the benefits of using Ovi Sync are related to pure convenience. For instance, if you have to edit any of your PIM contacts, you can do it using a computer. This is much easier when compared to using your phone. Just as an example, imagine having to create a long list of calendar entries using your phone. Even if you have the largest smartphone, typing on such tiny devices is very hard, and you are likely to end up straining. By using Ovi Sync, you can easily create such entries using your computer, and then transfer them to your phone.

Ovi Sync also enables you to update your PIM information when you are away from your computer. If, for instance, you met someone and they gave you their phone number, you could just save it in your phone. The next time you do the Ovi Sync, the relevant information will be updated in your Ovi account.

All of this means that with Ovi Sync, you are capable of keeping all your information up to date at all times. You also have access to such information irrespective of the state of your phone or computer. This is because the information is stored in the “cloud”. All you need to access such information is your username and password to Ovi. In this age where we have so many different devices for doing different things, integrating your PIM information between all your devices is a great way to stay organized. Ovi Sync provides this service very well. Though this service is available to mainly Nokia phones, it works so well that it warrants getting a Nokia (if you don’t have one) just to enjoy the convenience.
