Today I only touch about the Microsoft My Phone seen I received a mail invitation to signup this service from Windows Mobile Team.
Microsoft My Phone is a service that enable Windows Mobile user to backup their mobile data on the net. After sign in to Microsoft My Phone account, you have to install a small apps into your Windows Mobile, then you should able to backup your mobile data, such as Contact List, SMS, Picture and Video. So you no need to worry about the lost of data when you lost your mobile device.
I received mail invitation from Windows Mobile Team 2 days ago.
By click the link in the email, I am redirected to a sign in page, after I login, the interface is clean and simple, I need to install a small apps to my Windows Mobile Device via https://myphone.microsoft.com/install
Wow, its sound good. This is a great feature for us to backup the data beside we sync to local PC. The service is Free also!
Currently Windows Mobile Device running version 6.1. We are waiting Windows Mobile 7.0 very long time. The rumors said that Windows Mobile 7.0 will release 2009.
Microsoft only release Windows Mobile 6.5 after the version 6.1. It not a major upgrade but only improved minor features like internet browsing, online backup and online shop for Windows Mobile.
The new interface more easy for us to control the phone using fingers.
Why not 7.0? Most of the features above we can enable using third party application already.
HTC launched a new mobile device, HTC Diamond. An elegant and innovation mobile phone.
This mobile phone can compare with Apple iPhone and Sony Ericsson X1. Both phones also not yet release in Malaysia. This is the war between 3 mobile brands, Apple, Sony Ericsson and HTC. And also a war between mobile operating system, MAC OS and Window Mobile.
This is the HTC Diamond Ads.

Currently I am using HTC TyTN II, this Window Mobile powered device is feature rich with high speed internet connectivity.
But there is 2 things I surprised.
1. The full charged battery only can last 6 hours in stand by mode.
2. The price drop crazy. I purchased at RM 3188, after 3 months used, I asked for trade in price, is ONLY RM 1200. Ops, Crazy Man. Why like this? Why second hand HTC no value at all?
