Going from cable synch to wireless - Motorola Q Forum

wolfhound89 · 07-05-2008, 02:23 PM

When I first purchased my Q I did not get the data package. I would make my calendar changes and respond to e-mails and when I got home just connect it to the cable and away it went.

Well, today I broke down and get the data package. Now the questions are this.

Does wireless synch only handle e-mail or can it synch all of my Outlook data?

Since I had to create a new account on my Q do I keep the other account as it has all my folders and Outlook data?

Thank you.

you can sync from Q to pc and vice versa without a data plan..

I didn't know Outlook could sync wirelessly. What carrier do you have? Verizon has wireless sync for calendar and contacts. Dashwire has wireless sync for contacts/internet favorites/pictures/and texts.

Wirelessly? Would you need bluetooth on the pc? See, over a year here and I'm still a newbie! ;)

If I can only do email while I am on the road that is fine. I am just trying to get my hands wrapped around the whole situation. If I make changes to calendar and contacts on my Q I would then have to synch via USB . If this is true then I am also fine.

well if you use active sync you can do bluetooth and sync any item in the active sync menu

or if your pc doesnt have BT then you would have to use the cable

Thanks for all the posts. I guess that when I make changes in outlook I will have to use the USB cable.

However, now I have two inboxes on my Q. One the synchs via cable and one wirelessly. So, is there a way to do it wirelessly and keep my outlook folder structure?
