Microsoft’s Mobile syncing service - My Phone has just entered Public beta. Users can sign up for Free by installing My Phone on their Windows Mobile 6.x phones and signing in with their .NET Passport. My Phone service will Sync your SMS messages, Contacts, Notes and Calendar online just as Microsoft Exchange. However, My Phone only syncs between 5 AM to 11 PM (unless you sync manually) and is not always active like Exchange.
For more information on My Phone, you can refer to this post.
Microsoft has powered up their new My Phone website. My Phone is a new MobileMe kind of sync service for the Windows Mobile masses. It allows users to backup their phone into the cloud with a password, manage and update the information from the web app, and restore the backups. Its a re-branding of the SkyBox sync service.
The service will be FREE (something Apple needs to learn) and will be introduces as a invite-only beta at the Mobile World Congress.
Here are additional details:
• It has a 200MB cap, so it won’t sync anything after you fill that up.
• If you sync contacts and calendar to Exchange Server, it won’t sync that data to My Phone, but can still do the rest. Ditto for Windows Live—non-Live contacts will be saved on My Phone.
• It will only run on Windows Mobile 6.x
• Syncing occurs between 11pm and 5am, unless you force a manual sync.
