Your MOTOBLUR Account

Only MOTOBLUR syncs your contacts, posts, feeds, messages, emails, photos and much more—from sources like Facebook®, Twitter, MySpace, your work email, 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 any way you like.
You can log into your MOTOBLUR account from a computer to upload contacts, reset your password, get help, or even locate your phone:
www.motorola.com/mymotoblur

Security

Your contacts are backed up on MOTOBLUR, so don’t worry. Even if you lose your phone, MOTOBLUR can help you find it or wipe it. When you get your next MOTOBLUR product, your stored info makes it a snap to set up with just a username and password.
Of course it doesn't stop there. There are plenty of ways to protect your phone and your information, in “Security” on page 41.
