Maybe you were tempted to raise your eyebrows and laugh at me when I told you that all major companies are expected to give their best at the 2009 edition of the Mobile World Congress, but you’ll see that I wasn’t kidding you.

If LG, for example, presented a cell phone equipped with a transparent keyboard, the GD900, to be more precise, Microsoft wanted to amaze everyone with a quite impressive service, dedicated to people who own a Windows Mobile-based device. In the given context, Microsoft brought in the spotlight a competitor to Apple’s service called MobileMe. This one will be released under the name of My Phone.

The service is at the present available in the beta mode and, if you want to use it, you will have to sign up for a wait list. This is a backup sync service that allows you to synchronize the information you have stored on your device to a storage space that is “placed” on a website hosted by the famous company – Microsoft.

“If your phone is lost or stolen, or if you upgrade to a new phone, you can easily restore the contacts, calendar appointments, photos, and other information that you stored on My Phone to a compatible new or replacement phone. Most phones that run the Windows Mobile 6 operating system are compatible with My Phone service”.



The great thing about it is the fact that whenever you make some changes, like adding, editing or deleting contacts or appointments, they will immediately appear on your phone.

Therefore, if you own a Windows Mobile phone, you can install the My Phone, which will help you backup information like contacts, documents, all sorts of media files (photos, videos, music), calendar, tasks and SMS. The My Phone account gives you the chance to store no more than 200 MB on the website and Microsoft will not charge a fee for the service. At least not right now. Pretty nice, right?
