So whats the downside to My Phone?

This was about the easiest backup I have ever done. To easy. I must be missing something that it wont do when I need it the most. If anyone knows any downfall to My Phone please let me know.

The downside IMHO is your posting all your personal info on a public server (something I would never even consider doing)

There are plenty of ways to BU your stuff & keep it private.

Thousands of people have instant access to your "Sensitive" personal records. Who you ask?

Your ISP employees have access to your Email
DMV employees
IRS employess
Phone/Cell company employees
Credit Agencies employees, Equifax, TransUnion, etc
Your Bank/Credit Union employees
Your credit card company employees
Your mortgage company employees

This list could get long so I will stop. The point is, why sweat backing up your contacts to a web page. Even if someone looked at your contacts, who would care.

What I'm talking about goes way beyond a few phone numbers.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then don't sweat it -it won't apply to you.

Since the info is easily backed up locally anyway, there is absolutely no reason whatever to store it on a public server.

The fed's already have that one, it is called the patriot act.
