MyPhoneExplorer is a compact yet comprehensive tool for managing your Sony Ericsson phone, that consistently delivers more than you'd expect.

You don't just get access to your organiser, complete with an easy-to-user calendar view, for instance - it can also synchronise with Outlook, Google, Sunbird, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

The address book is even better, connecting directly to Outlook, Gmail, Windows contacts, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Tobit David and Lotus Notes.

There are also options to archive your SMS messages, set your phone's clock according to an internet time server, browse files, control the phone directly from the program, and more.

The author says MyPhoneExplorer won't work with the XPERIA, P800i, P900i and P910i phones, or basic models that don't have a PC interface. And Symbian-based phones require you to install the PC suite first, and will only work once you're connected via a USB cable. But otherwise MyPhoneExplorer supports all other Sony Ericsson phones, and should be able to manage and control them without problems.
