The type of content that can be transferred depends on the
model of the device from which you want to transfer
content. If the other device supports synchronisation, you
can also synchronise data between the other device and
your Nokia N95.

If the other device cannot be powered on without a SIM
card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When Nokia N95
is switched on without a SIM card, the offline profile is
automatically activated.

Transferring time depends on the amount of data to be

device, it is deleted from the other device as well when
synchronising; you cannot restore deleted items with
synchronisation.
