Microsoft confirms MyPhone, invite-only beta coming to MWC

Remember that alleged Microsoft MyPhone beta page that popped up on getskybox.com yesterday? It's back up now and being hosted under the company's official domain, with everything apparently intact except that tantalizing "Sign In" button. According to a statement from the gang at Redmond, a limited invite-only beta is in the cards, and more details on the syncing service formerly known as SkyBox are coming to Mobile World Congress later this month. As for the beta itself, the wording's a bit ambiguous here -- will we just be getting new details on the trial or will the signup actually launch then? Looks like we'll find out for sure in just over a week.

sounds good. maybe i wont have to use Dashwire anymore. not a fan of that program but it works, this sounds similar but maybe with more features (like actually being able to restore the information to the phone and not just look at it online).

Come on copy editor, you can see in the screenshot you've posted right there that its referred to several times by Microsoft as "Microsoft My Phone" and not MyPhone. Leaving out spaces does NOT make you cool.

@SoCoolCurt
Dashwire did update my contacts when I went from the Palm 800w to Treo Pro.
