Vufone - essential and smart application

I can safely say that I haven't been suffering from writers block despite the fact that I have neglected posting articles for the past 3 months. It's been a chaotic couple of months to say the least and I'm happy to say I'm back - for today anyway.

I've been meaning to do a review on quite a relevent application that I was able to get my grubby paws on - namely Vufone.

The product is in essence an online mobile phone backup tool - on steroids - providing the following features;

Pretty neat and relevant as I have about 4 different phones which I can now easily share the same information on - maintaining consistency across all devices. I particularly like the way one can configure what you want synchronised and the ease of use in setting up as a first time user.

What did bug me a bit is that the application connects your phone to the site every day for it's scheduled synchronisation but this is something I can overlook as it's value outweighs the irritation factor.

So if like me you are looking for an application that provides a relevant and much needed service with so much more than just back-up - check out Vufone.

Gets a double thumbs up from me.
