Microsoft launches Phone Data Manager Beta
- Phone Data Manager Beta works with non-Windows Mobile devices. There's a fairly lengthy list of supported devices including a number of Sony ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola devices.
- The new utility syncs your data with Windows Live Services. That means your contacts, music, videos, and photos will be accessible online from any computer with a web browser.

Why oh why does MS refuse to fix wi-fi sync? I'm pretty sure it was taken out because people were using it over non-secure connections (and the protocol was not secure by design), but that really should be easy to fix, and I *can't* be the only person with wi-fi but not bluetooth...

Buy a bluetooth dongle for $20?
Or did you mean on your phone?

Maybe we can get my MotoQ9M to actually work with existing ActiveSync before they release betas.
Plug in phone = Activesync cannot connect to the windows mobile device.
Tried all the uncheck advanced network settings.
No support anywhere.
TOTAL CRAP!

Was excited to try this out, but no 64-bit support yet :-(

And this makes me happy because if it's actually good, it will probably eventually be a good way to sync Android phones with windows, since I'm not aware of a good all-encompassing sync app for those phones yet.

Just tried it. Worked fine with my Sony Ericsson W810i via bluetooth.

It amazes me it has taken Microsoft this long to make something like this. They even have a whole business section around cellphones...

I just tried it and I must say that I'm actually happy and surprised with it. I don't have much good impressions from Microsoft software in general...
