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 (“Set up & go” on page 4). 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?
MOTOROLA MILESTONE 2 with MOTOBLUR is a phone with social skills.
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.

Update your status

After you add a social networking account, you can update and see your current status in the Social
networking
and Social status widgets on your home
screen.
To update your status, just touch your Social
networking
or Social status widget and enter text. If you have more than one account, you can use the pull-down menu to limit which accounts are updated. If you don’t see a Social networking or Social status widget, flick your home screen left or right to check all panels.
To add a Social networking or Social status widget:
1 Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen
to open the Add to Home screen menu.
2 To uc h Motorola widgets > Social networking or
Social status. The widget appears in the empty spot
and will show your status the next time your phone updates from the network.

Note: Twitter and MySpace messages will always
appear as “read” on your phone, but your phone notifies you when you receive a new message. MySpace marks your messages as “read” online.
For email accounts, see “Messaging” on page 22.
Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi™” on
page 35.
