Backing up phone data to a computer and restoring data to the phone from a backup on the computer.
Installing new software and languages in the phone.
Connecting a computer to the Internet via the phone.
Managing phone files from a computer and exchanging files between the phone and the computer.
The online help in the Sony Ericsson PC Suite describes the various applications in detail.
For further information on synchronizing, making backups, and restoring from backups, see Synchronization and backup.
