Backup Assistant -- First Impressions?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I have an LG VX4400, and installed Verizon's new Backup Assistant (BA)
last week just after it was announced.

So far, I've had mixed results with BA. I have my phone set to
automatically sync late at night. Sometimes the syncs work fine;
other times, I find an error message in the morning.

I've also done some changes from the web interface. Sometimes when I
sign out, the autosync works fine; other times, it does not.

Overall, I like the concept that BA offers a lot. However, I'm a bit
concerned about it's reliability.

Does anyone else have any experience with Backup Assistant yet, and
what have you seen?

I wondered what it was too. Apparantly it is an app that runs on the phone
that uploads your phonebook to VZW and thereafter keeps it in sync. So if
you loose/damage your phone you can download your phonebook to the new phone
without a data cable.

It's probably a local/test market thing-- no hits searching the VWZ website
and the dialup CSR never heard of it.

While it is a nice idea I don't care for the idea of uploading my phonebook
to a third party.
