MyPhone vs Dashwire/Bestbuy mIQ sync – MyPhone wins
MyPhone minimalist vs Dashwire exuberance
I must admit I was originally a MyPhone sceptic, but the service really clicked for me when I found the notes I recorded in a word document on my phone easily accessible from the MyPhone website without needing to e-mail the file or sync (which I never do in any case). Browsing my pictures online instead of on my phone was also very useful.
CNet put Microsoft’s new free service up against another well known sync and back-up service, Dashwire, and found while both services were well featured, MyPhone had better media sharing features.
They did however complain about the spartan look of the MyPhone service, an issue I agree with and is a feature of all Microsoft’s Live services.
MyPhone is available from the Windows Mobile Marketplace.

Dashwire only backups messages but doesnt restore them, seriously?

there's a lot of things about MS services, especially myphone, that bug me. Sometimes i wonder if the developers who design the site, actually use it. Because anyone that uses it would tell you within 2 minutes there's tons of things that need to be redone/reworked in order to make the site more user friendly/usable.
i swear w/ the behemoth that is MS, sometimes it seems like higher ups come up w/ a design which then gets implemented by the rank and file folks…who then have no say in terms of making changes/improvements to a project they're actually working on.

I like Microsoft MyPhone, I have a backup all the time, I just wished they had done call logs too.
