Your MOTOBLUR account

Only MOTOBLUR syncs contacts, posts, feeds, messages, emails, photos and much more—from sources like Facebook®, Twitter, MySpace, your work email, Picasa™, and Photobucket®—and serves them up just the way you want them. No opening and closing apps and menus, it’s all front and center on your home screen and throughout the entire phone, so you can communicate anyway you like.

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

Cool content & more

Download new apps with “Apps & updates” on page 11. Your phone comes with a microSD memory card installed—you can load it up with photos, videos, and music from your computer using “Memory card & file transfer” on page 38.

Note: Do not remove your memory card while your

phone is using it or writing files on it.

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. And 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.
