Microsoft opens My Phone beta, plans new features - Computerworld
Microsoft on Tuesday will open the beta for its My Phone Windows Mobile backup service to anyone who wants to try it out. The company has also disclosed some forthcoming features for the service, including ways to wipe data remotely and find lost phones using GPS.
My Phone, introduced as a limited beta in February, lets Windows Mobile users back up information such as text messages, contacts, photos and calendar items to an online storage service. Microsoft pitches it as a backup service, designed to save important data that could disappear if a user loses their phone. The service, which is free, may also be useful to people who upgrade their phone, because it should make it easier to transfer data such as contacts to a new device.
Starting Tuesday, anyone using a Windows Mobile 6.0 or higher phone can start using the service, which comes with 200MB of storage. As of Tuesday it will also be available in all 25 languages that Windows Mobile supports. The limited beta was offered in only a handful of languages.
Cheapest Wireless Cell Phone Plans : Mobile Phones Ireland ...
When you prepare to shop for a cell phone plan, there are more than just one factor that will determine if a plan is a good fit to your usage and to serve your needs. There is always some “sticker shock” when you look at a monthly plan and the idea of spending $100 or more on your cell phone usage becomes a reality. Often that sticker shock results in a new ambition to find the most inexpensive cell phone plan available.
It is important to weigh how you measure a “cheap” cell phone plan. The obvious first step is to find a cell phone that has a few extra features as possible. But if you are already used to using text messaging, taking pictures or videos with your phone or accessing the interent from your handheld unit, its going to be difficult to get a very inexpensive unit that supports your cell phone lifestyle without sacrificing quality to get that low cost.
Cost is a major issue with most cell phone users. Cell phone companies know that so many of the promotions and advertising for cell phone plans are focused on low cost. You can often get into a cell phone plan for very little up front. The phone can be bought for a reasonable price and often with a coupon that means you virtually get the phone for free. And the basic service will be discounted so if you only use the minimum services of the cell phone company, you will be able to have an affordable cell phone bill come to your home each month.
But cell phone companies know that they can get that bill jacked up with extra charges and high priced options. The real means of measuring cheap wireless cell phone plans is not the cost of the basic service but the bill you will end up paying when you use the service to provide all of your wireless needs. So plans that offer a well rounded menu of service offerings that are affordable may be much better deals even if you pay more for basic services compared to “cheap” plans that look to make up their low introductory rate by gouging you for going over your minutes or for using “extras” like texting or using the internet from your wireless device.
