myth90045, you're missing the point, it's mostly to sync the calendar. to transfer contacts from one phone to another, we have the sim card for that. we don't have to pay to transfer contacts (verizon charges $10 to change phone and transfer settings at their walk-in store). we just swap the sim card.

between the sim card and microSD card, everything but the calendar can be transfered from one phone to another. Mobile Backup is just the missing link.]]>May 17th 2007 2:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/May 17th 2007 2:28PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/

I'd also imagine it's for the instances when a ATT customer would lose their phone or have it stolen, when they get the replacement they just re-download their contacts.]]>May 17th 2007 2:57PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/
No hate, just hoping T picks up some new phones from SE this year, so the w810i will not be regarded as 'the latest' offered model.]]>May 17th 2007 3:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/May 18th 2007 4:44AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/05/17/atandt-mobile-backup-launches-june-8/
Since At&t requires an application download to reside on your phone, there is a good possibility they are not using sync standard SyncML, since it is already embedded in most phones.

Try ZYB.Com if your phone has SyncML. PhoneScoop.com lists specs for cellphones, plus a neat 'compare' phone specs feature. ZYB has a list of SyncML compatible phones on their site also.]]>Aug 1st 2007 7:36PM
