PIM Backup: A great little tool to backup your contacts, SMS messages

I used to use simple Outlook Synchronization to backup all my contact information, tasks and calendar before making ROM upgrade on my X500, it was easy but missed some nice features like SMS backup, which is important. When I moved to Linux one task I did not manage to do is to make Multisync work with my Glofiish so I was stuck and could not do any working backup (the software provided by Eten sometimes did not work for me and once left me without all my contact information after upgrade).

Today I found a little free utility, which is doing a great job in backing up all PIM onfo, including SMS and even Call logs and Speed Dial list. This nice little tool has an obvious name: PIM Backup and can be downloaded from author page.

New ROM released for Glofiish X500 & M700, at the moment in Russian only.

X500 and M700 had no ROM updates since the initial release of WM6 version in May 2007, and this ROM had a number of issues addressed in some home-made ROM versions. Now Eten Corp has finally released and official updated version of it, fixing some old issues like disappearing POP3 boxes and PIN codes, but at the moment I could only find it in Russian language, here are the links:

EUU_X500_RUS_R01_032_0438_WM6.EXE

EUU_M700_RUS_R01_052_0439_WM6_XP.EXE

Both versions feature:

OS Version 1620
Fix for disappearing PIN after reset
Fix for disappearing GPRS signal
Fix for disappearing GPRS settings after reset
Fix for disappearing POP3 settings after reset
SDHC support
number of minor fixes

If you happen to know where is it possible to get an English version of these ROM versions, please let me know!

E-ten @ Cebit 2008

One of the biggest surprises I got from Cebit 2008 was the E-ten stand, where actually nothing was displayed! I've asked a person who was where if this was related to ACER buying E-ten, but he replied it was not. Here are some pics:






But as you can see from this article there were some phones displayed before Cebit opened, so I wonder what has really happened? If you have any idea, please let me know!

Future of Mobile Computing - Nokia Morph

Nokia always was good in making amazing prototypes of future products and when I saw this video at th Mobile&Wireless Summit in Chicago on Tuesday, I was amazed! I really want a device like this! I mean NOW! :-)

One of the questions that was asked by attendees is what would be the price tag for a device like this, and the answer from Nokia guy was to the point: How much are you ready to pay for a device like this?". Take a look at the video and please comment how much are you really ready to pay for this.
