Re: Programs that sync contacts, calendars, etc

I thought i'd list some common backup applications here, since they seem to go along with sync apps. ** = NOT FREE

**SPB Backup: SPB Backup
Consensus seems that this works well for Mogul, but not quite as well on TP. If you are swapping ROMs then this is not for you...try sprite.
SPB Backup forum http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=34

HTC Backup:

**Sprite:
JMorton's info on backups after a hard reset HERE and HERE
ShaggyLive says there is an HTC upgrade special Sprite is running, backup & terminator for $20.

PIM Backup: http://www.dotfred.net/
This program runs on your device and creates a backup of your goodies (contacts, calendar, call history, sms) right on your phone. No installation is necessary, just run the .exe on your phone. Obviously the next step is to use one of the above syncing services to regularly send the backups to the cloud.
