Social networking

Your MOTOBLUR Account

The first time you turned on your phone, you registered for a MOTOBLUR account that manages your messages, contacts, and more (“Start MOTOBLUR” on page 3). You can log into this account from a computer to upload contacts, reset your password, get help, or even locate your phone: www.motorola.com/mymotoblur
What is MOTOBLUR?
Only MOTOBLUR syncs contacts, posts, feeds, messages, e-mails, photos and much more—from sources like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, your work e-mail, Picasa, Photobucket—and automatically serves it up just the way you want it. No opening and closing apps and menus, it’s all front and center on your home screen and integrated throughout the entire phone so you can communicate anyway you like.

Update Your Status

After you add a social networking account, you can update and see your current status in a widget on your home screen.
To update your status, just touch your widget and enter text. If you have more than one
