Dashwire Mirrors Your Phone's Content Over the Web

So I'm checking my email as usual and I see an email from Dashwire saying my phone is ready for their software. I'd like to think my phone was ready all along and it's just that their software was ready for my phone. Anyway, I have the Treo 750 so I decided to give it a try and am already loving it.

The basic idea is it will invisibly back up much of your smartphone's content to their servers with little to no interaction on your end. The thing I love about it most is the fact that it syncs your contacts, photos, text and even videos to an online web site wirelessly. Now you never have to worry if you uploaded that last picture or if you added that contact to your friends list.

The best part is that it’s all done wirelessly and you can manage a majority of the phone online. The online app syncs with your phone so for example if you delete a contact online it automatically deletes it from your phone. The online app even keeps a log of recent calls and text which is a great feature if your phone ever crashes and loses the info.

Actually, the best part might be that it's free, though exactly who's getting paid how for this service is as yet unclear.

Dashwire looks to be another step to the cloud-based data storage we've been waiting for here at WMExperts. Before you go giving your data to Dashwire, though, keep in mind that Microsoft itself may be releasing a native, more robust solution based on the Sidekick services they've acquired.
