Get a backup of your mobile data and get instant online access to your mobile's contacts and calendar with ZYB. By signing up, you'll be able to store, manage and even share your mobile's content online with friends within minutes. No cables or downloads needed.

It's easy, it's free, and you'll never lose your contacts again!

I got the link to this site from a Norwegian computer magazine, and it really looks like a smart program.  From the comments I could read, all the people (wasn't that many yet when the article was posted) was very happy with it.  Easy to use, with features for syncronization, backup, easy editing of your contats, and it should also have posibilities to syncronize with Google Calendar I've read somewhere.

Has anybody else heard something about it?

The only thing that might worry me a bit, is the privacy concern - storing all my mobile contacts (and calendar events) online does make some alarm bells start ringing.  But from what I could read on the site, it should be pretty safe, and it seems like a pretty serious company too.

I reckon alot of people lost their contacts once.
I've written them all down one time and I should retype them in an excelldocument once.
It costs a bit of time but it's worth it.

Huh :huh:

Firstly, writing 'em down like that just takes toooo long time (I have 2-300 contacts on my phone, and many of 'em with 2 or more numbers as well), and to get the safety you want, you'll need to update that list pretty frequently, which will be a hell of a job.
If you only want backup, most phones have the possibility to get out a backup file (with my K750i, I can "send all contacs" via Bluetooth to my PC, thus having a nice backup), which will be a much better sollution than just pen and paper/excell.

But the point is that this online program fix all this for you - I'd reccomend you to read a bit on that site DuVel :flirty:
