On a previous post http://techgeekandmore.wordpress.com/category/cell-phone/ (http://techgeekandmore NULL.com/category/cell-phone/) (From May 2009), I talked about the Microsoft My Phone service.

With My phone you can

Back up and restore your phone’s information to a password-protected web site

Access and update your contacts and appointments through your web account

Share photos on your phone with family and friends

Well it seems that Microsoft is adding new features as the My phone service will be down for 2 days starting tomorrow October 5th.  I just received the following email -

My Phone Service Upgrade

Dear My Phone User,

From Monday, October 5^th through 3pm (GMT) on Tuesday, October 6^th, the My Phone service will be unavailable while we’re upgrading the system.

During this time:

- You will not be able to access the My Phone online portal or synchronize changes on your phone. 

- Be assured, data that you have already synched will not be impacted.

When the service resumes, there will be a number of exciting new features, so be sure to check them out by visiting http://myphone.microsoft.com (http://myphone NULL.microsoft NULL.com/).

Thanks,

The My Phone Team

Unfortunately I cant find what these new features are, but I will update once I can get more information.
