zyb.com - SyncML Service
Today I stumbled upon zyb.com, a SyncML service that is available for free with most of its features. Since I got my new Nokia E61, I signed up immediately to test its capacities. It works good, but not perfect. It seems to be able to handle many phone numbers per contact, but only if you chose one of the supported number types. It does for example not synchronise a number labeled Mobile, but it sychronizes Mobile (Home) and Mobile (Work). What is important to me that it can synchronise many entries of the same type - so e. g. two numbers labeled Mobile (Work)were correctly copied to zyb.com.
Just try it - it is free and seems to be an acceptable solution to backup your mobile contacts.

Its a cool way to keep a backup. I like the basic idea and i especially becoming mobile in real terms. The sharing feature is really good but not useful for me.

Sharing I also don\’t use. For me, these quality of a synchronization services can be identified when you look at what kind of fields they support… if it only synchronizes half of your phone book, it is worth nothing to me. For my Nokia E61, it does the job when I choose the correct labels in the handphone. Not ideal, but acceptable.
