Bloove Manages Your Phone Online
I just recently found this new service called Bloove. Love those Web 2.0 randomness names. Bloove is a service that lets you easily manage your phone’s contacts and messages online. And it’s dead easy. Remember how that’s important?
With Bloove, you get to their website and register for an account. Then send your phone to the mobile version of their site for a quick and easy download of the Bloove Agent. As soon as you open the thing, it sniffs out an access point and hops online, syncing your contacts and messages. You can then easily manage your entire phonebook and inbox in any browser window.
The best parts? 1. it’s free (with premium features coming soon) and 2. it works with any recent Nokia or Sony Ericsson handset. Rock on. There’s also a few other cool features, such as the Bloove Contacts Archive, which lets you temporarily delete a contact from your handset and keep the information safe on Bloove’s servers, so that you can re-enable it when needed. That way if you only talk to 40 of the 250 names in your phonebook, you can safely trim things up a bit.
They also keep a snapshot of the last time you connected available anytime on the site. Thus, if something happens to your phone, you can easily just login to get all your contact information. Currently, you can only read it, but coming soon is the ability to send it to your new phone, or export to whatever else you may want to export it to. Easy peasy.
Just had a quick play with it and it does look very promising!
