hi this is adam lane with pocket now calm and we're going to take a look at the new microsoft myphone beta now this is a cloud service for backing up all sorts of data on your phone to the internet using your live ID so over here you see my windows mobile phones connected through pocket controller this is a screen and I've already signed in with my live ID and now I can check off all the things that I want to think now one thing you'll notice is if you have a exchange account any kind that you're sinking any kind of data with contact calendar and tasks will not sync with my phone you have to completely remove your exchange account settings in order get those to think even if all you're doing is using push email on the exchange account it won't back up contacts calendar tasks that's a I think that should be a bug but anyway I'm going to hit done and then I'm going to hit sink and I see it now we're sinking to the web over here is the web page and you can see how much data i'm using right there and over here is our contacts calendar tasks olives let's take a look at text messages first well this is still thinking over here so you receive all the text messages on my phone i can just select them and it shows the location here and i can see what it says right here date and time it was sent i can choose in bad stress or sent messages and I can go through pages and pages of text messages one cool thing is i can check off a bunch of them and then over here I can either delete them or archive them to the web so that'll take them off of my phone and just store them in the web page on the website look at our photos you can see that it synced all the crappy icons that are installed by default and up here you can upload or delete or play slideshow this manage menu where you can choose restore the phone or our car archives web which will remove it from the phone but leave it out here so i'm going to upload one if i click that correctly oh no oh look at that it's over here you gotta choose browse and then go to the truth how about that one upload and over here i'm still thinking doing my tats and there's the picture so when this finishes syncing that picture should get uploaded to my phone you've also got videos over here I don't have any videos music all your ringtones and whatnot are here documents txt files and let's see if anything synced here ok there we are we have some contacts join up we have pages of those here's our menu again you can find duplicates archive the web resource the delete command you can add new contacts so there's our new contact add photo to the contact that's pretty nice all sorts of information for them tasks have uploaded a few that's thinking well you can create new ones delete them find duplicates all the same things calendar is uploaded to you can do new event and that happens over here but there's not much detail as you can add here just the description where start and end date and um not to advance not as outlook like as you might like it to be ok so that's everything for it's on my phone now we synced let's see if that picture shows up yeps narratives perfect and right here we have our connected phones option and I you can see I have two phones connected they both say windows mobile 6 professional and it's hard to identify which is which you can select them and edit but you can't put a name in it you just have a phone number to field here settings are very slim at this time you change the time zone it's also deleted items area kind of like a recycle bin so that's about it right now I it would be nice if you could reply to text messages through the web interface that would be pretty cool but it's not possible and I don't see any way to export the text messages to like a offline backup you know txt file or something like that so pretty good if you your consumer and you don't want to plug your phone into outlook or the USB port on your computer and you don't have an exchange account other than that it's great for backing up text messages which is not really possible elsewhere unless you get something like Jo mobile companion hopefully we'll see more development development with the parts of my phone that's it's now
