Yup, got an email announcing it a few days ago.
Dopey me goes and flashes a new ROM today and lost all my contacts. At least I synced a few weeks ago with my laptop so all is not lost until MyPhone comes back online.

That's why I use PIMBackup and Dashwire, never put all your eggs in one basket dudes

Yup, and I always preach the importance of backups to my customers.

So I installed this today and it's pretty simple and nice - it does one backup a day at 4:48am - which is fine.

But then I logged onto the online backup to take a look and was shocked at this: only 200MB of space available and nothing but my calendar, docs, texts, tasks and contacts took up 198 of those!

And there were even options I didn't check for videos, photos, and even the storage card! How the hell do they expect this to be useful to anyone if all they give you is 200 lousy megs? (And how could they expect anyone's mobile data connection to be able to transmit what could be gigs of media?)

Am having problems w/ MyPhone? When I flashed Monday it was down until Tuesday. So Tuesday comes around I was able to backup my contact, txt msgs, ect.... Then I check back and I have an error saying everything didnt not sync? I checked my phone all my contacts where there but my txt messages where back dated about 2 wks???

Derp! I think you're right strra, it looked like the blue space was all that was available. Long as this thing doesn't eat up my battery too bad, it's a nice insurance policy.
