The focus of this article is syncing Windows Thunderbird Contacts and Lightning Calendar with your Android phone Contacts and Calendar. It also allows syncing to multiple phones. It allows syncing your address books with your phones, includes a Calendar view for various desktop calendars, and allows browsing your text messages, call logs, file system and various other more geeky things. Originally developed for Ericsson phones, they added Android support.

Recently I ran into a nifty little tool called MyPhoneExplorer. The solution is to sync your computer and phone directly. While Google and similar tools make doing that easy, it’s always under their watchful eye. Yet it would be nice to have your Contacts and Calendar synced with your Android phone. You may also not be a fan of sharing your entire life with web tools that browse your information for marketing hooks. While webmail is great for traveling, it has serious limitations if you’re managing several email accounts and a lot of traffic. Perhaps you’re a little old school like me – you prefer to use an email client like Thunderbird to manage your mail, contacts and schedule rather than using web tools.
