Microsoft on Tuesday moved its My Phone service to open beta.
My Phone is a free service that syncs Windows Mobile 6 smartphones with a password-protected Web site that can be accessed from any PC. It made its formal debut at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Anyone with a Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1 phone can download My Phone now at myphone.microsoft.com. The service will let you update contacts, manage your calendar and photos, add new tasks, search through text messages, download and edit documents, and upload music and videos - all from the PC.
Any changes made to your account from the PC will be automatically updated overnight, or you can click "sync" at any time for automatic updates.
Microsoft touted the product as a means to protect your information in case of loss or theft, as well as a convenient way to transfer information to a new phone.
If you lose your phone or buy a new handset, download the My Phone app to the new device, sign in, click "sync" and your data will be transferred to the new phone.
