Until today however I had unistalled the program from my phone because the back-up function would never work for me. But I got an email last night stating they had an updated beta version available that should fix some of the problems 8330 users were experiencing. After downloading the new beta release, I am happy to report back that backup now works successfully. What's interesting for me is that Desktop Manager will never back up my email messages for some reason. Even after several OS upgrades after about the third day I am no longer to back up my emails. But with this software I will now be able to restore my emails whenever I do an upgrade. This product should be out of beta June 30, from my understanding. But to all of you who are unsure whether this is a good value, I will say I rarely pay for applications on my Blackberry since there are so many free alternatives usually available. This however is one software app I will be buying. I really like smrtguard and think that it is a wonderful program.

The support team at SmrtGuard have been both quick and courteous in their replies to my queries.

All of the processes have worked smoothly as I tested them. The locate phone worked perfectly and quickly, showing my phone in the front of my house where it was located. The backup is great like stated in the review and you do have control of backing nothing up, or backing up only certain things. If your worried about your messages or contacts being backed up, you can choose not to. Today I had the chance to really use the system. I misplaced my phone here at my house, and after looking around I could not find it. Calling my phone would be useless because it was set to vibrate (all). I then logged into the Smrtguard web site and did an audio ping to my phone. This sets off a buzzer and lights the led a bright white. It was loud enough that I heard the buzzing coming from my garage while I was in the upstairs office where my computer was located. Here I easily found the phone under some car wash towels I had folded and laid on a workbench. Thank you Smrtguard. Yes I would have eventually found the phone, but it may have taken a day or two before I moved the towels. For this feature alone Smrtguard is worth having. All the other features are bonuses.

And it might come in different packages. I tested out all the features I mentioned above and suggested quite a few and they have done a good job at making them work. As far as OTA back up I really haven't seen another software that works as good as this one, beside BES, if I find something will let you know.

Freak, wonder if the beta was open, pretty sure it was, but I would have taken part in for sure. I have looked for some sort of software that will do this, and this one comes with a whole bunch of extra stuff along with the OTA backup. That just kicks @ss. Any other way to back up your contacts automatically OTA? Last one I tried was Google Sync, but it kinda sucks. This is something I could have really used.

However you can remotely self destruct the contact info (and all user data) through the website, so in that sense you can. I'm currently in the beta.
