Sync Online

[drama2747]

Im looking for a website/application that will allow syncing contacts via the net. Using thunderbird at home.

I have worldcom (i believe is the name) which I can take a picture of a business card and put it automatically in my contacts. In theory if I were to be at a point where i receive 20+ I would like to be able to sync via the net, where my partners would be able to sync as well, without hooking up to the computer. If that makes sense. Ive heard of SyncML, and Scheduleworld... but I am looking for other options, if anyone knows of any. Thanks for your time

Wow, that's a great idea. Why didn't I think about that. Thanks for the link to Dashwire.

I've been waiting two months for an invitation.
I have two phones waiting for invites... hope they increase their users soon.

this might work too

i sync with an exchange server at work, it syncs contacts, email, calender and tasks, this seems to provide the same exchange-based service

I've been waiting since this original message for an invite as well and have basically given up. For now I've just been using PIMBackup to make a nightly backup. I need to do a scheduled task to send them to my FTP server, that'll be good enough for me.

you could sync with an exchange server like said above. I use mail2web for that. alot of people use mail2web to "push" their email to the phone instantly. I did that for a while and it wasnt very functional for me so now i use it just to sync calendar and contacts.

all you have to do is setup up an account with them, add the email account to your phone, and your phone will automagically sync over the interwebs. whether you actually use the email addy is up to you.

while we're on the subject, is there a way to sync from desktop PC to mail2web (dont care about the email, just want to sync calendar and contacts)? that way, whatever changes i make on my PC will appear on my phone almost instantly without dealing with wires...

Mail2Web charges $14.99 a month if you want to sync to a desktop PC. Seems excessive to me.

I was using myfunambol.com to sync my calendar, todo, contacts with my phone, outlook and thunderbird... but the push email was not working very good and looked everywhere but can't get myfunambol to sync with gcal. Now I am using www.scheduleworld.com and I'm very impressed so far.

I use the same client that is on my phone, outlook and thunderbird and just set the server for credentials for scheduleworld and I should be in sync with all my devices.

I also use mail2web for push email... which backs up my calendar, todos and contacts as well... plus I do a nightly backup with ppcpimbackup. At this point... I think I'm safe against data loss... and all my stuff is in sync...

Now watch it all go to hell ;)

When I fill in the serversettings :

mobile.exchange.mail2web.com

then username and password and try to sync, it just keeps telling me that it's syncing, but it doesn't establish a connection.

Do I have to add the emailsettings to establish a connection or am I doing something else wrong ?

I gotta recommend dashwire also it synced everything on my device and even does a voicemail service (but not for us "Sprinters"). My only problem is with accessing the website using a mobile browser..it's still in beta so there are other issues but that belongs in another discussion...TRY Dashwire.

I like the idea of dashwire, but do not want to sacrifice the 3mb of ram to run it.
