Nokia unveils phone contacts backup service

By James Ratemo

Nokia mobile phone users can now retrieve contacts and mobile documents even if they lose their handsets.

In a new service unveiled by the mobile maker, consumers without e-mail accounts can also create them without using a networked computer. The latest version of Ovi.com offers free functionality for syncing calendar, contacts, notes and tasks between a Nokia mobile device and www.ovi.com.

With this functionality, Ovi.com users can create an online backup of their important information that they can access and edit when connected to the Internet.

Nokia believes this will improve a customer’s mobile experience by safeguarding personal information in case their device is lost or stolen.

"With the Nokia Ovi Suite for PC application, one can easily copy files and information to the computer," said Agatha Gikunda, head of messaging, Middle East and Africa

With this new solution, you can easily backup, sync and share your content using Ovi services on your PC, the web and your GPRS enabled mobile device.
