If you synchronize your phone with your computer you know you will always have information when and where you need it most. The following are three reasons why you should synchronize your phone with your PC:

1.) Contacts, Emails, and Calendar Remain Organized

Using your smart-phone to organize your life, read email, and store contact information is a real time-saver. Also, once you have set up syncing your phone and computer, the process will occur automatically.

Here are two different recommended programs:

Windows Phone 7
Windows Mobile 6.5
2.) Store Work, Projects, or Homework on Your Phone

You can do work anywhere, without booting up your laptop. Using Mobile Office, allows you to work Microsoft Word and Excel documents at anytime you desire.

3.) Always Have Your Photos

Using Windows Phone 7, you can instantly upload photos to SkyDrive and then download them to your computer. Additionally, you can use Zune sync software to sync photos just as you do with music. Also, you can use ActiveSync, to do the same if you are using Windows Mobile 6.5.
