Social networking

my life, your life

Your MOTOBLUR account

The first time you turned on your phone, you registered for a MOTOBLUR account that manages your messages, contacts and more (“Se t up & go” on page 4). You can log into this account from a PC to upload contacts, reset your password, get help or even locate your phone: www.motorola.com/mymotoblur.
What is MOTOBLUR?

Now, the only service that can sync all your friends, emails, messages and Facebook®, MySpace, Twitter feeds and happenings with continuous updates and back-ups, along with the ability to remotely locate and wipe your phone if it is ever lost or stolen, just got better.
Introducing the latest MOTOBLUR. MOTOBLUR offers new features that give you more control, including customisable filters that let you view your messages and happenings any way you like, the ability to move and resize preloaded widgets and new ways to manage your battery life and data consumption.

Synchronise contacts

When you change one of your Contacts, your phone automatically updates your MOTOBLUR account online. Also, your phone updates your Contacts and MOTOBLUR account whenever you change a friend in your social networking accounts.
So, you don't have to do anything to synchronise your
Contacts with your other accounts! MOTOBLUR takes
care of it for you.
