Microsoft My Phone is up

I didn't see any other threads so here it is. I registered on the waiting list the day it became available and got an email that is was working. Sure enough. I have only tried the contacts and calender features and it works very well in both directions. On my EVDO connection the sync went pretty fast. I can now finally get rid of my "borrowed" version of outlook I had used solely to back-up contacts.(I use openoffice for everything else)

sign in with your Live ID

install the cab onto your phone from http://myphone.microsoft.com/install

more info here.

It will backup Calendar, Contacts, tasks, text messages, pictures, videos, music and documents from the device. Will even backup data from the storage card.

I have only been trying it out for about an hour now so not sure of the pitfalls as of yet. If you sync with exchange then you will be given a choice to sync calendar, contacts and events with your exchange acount OR with My Phone, NOT both.

There is an option the sync pictures, videos, music and documents from the storage card but it is an all or non option, you do not get to select individual types of data.

I am eager to read what others think of this new product.

I registered this morning but i'm still in the lineup so even if I download the app, I can't use it.

Did you have a promotional code?

I have confirmed with Dashwire that it DOES support more than 10,000 texts. You can only view 10,000 at a time in the main screen. You can search for texts and as long as the results don't have more than 10,000 hits, then you are good to go.

Our not-too-distant future plans call for changing this.
Thanks,

I have nearly 20,000, I believe. Hard to tell nowadays.

The main difference that has me excited, is that it supposedly supports FULL synchronization of text messages. Dashwire only uploads them to the site, but will not put them back on your phone. I think that is one hell of a feature!

Well dang, still will not sync my PIM data due to me having an activesync session....

I wish MS would give us more than one AS session
