I doubt that there are any public (at least not free) ones, possibly some for demonstration purposes. Use Google and other search engines to search for "SyncML".

If you work for some company, you could ask the IT department to set up one (probably not something they can make a quick decision on, though, if it already isn't in the works).

Hi guys,

SimStore is a company that offers an over the air back up service for mobile devices. Currently backup is via SMS but the Sync Service via GPRS is being rolled out in the next couple of weeks. This is compatible with Nokia 72560, 6600, 6800, Sony Ericsson P800, P900 T68 etc.

You can check us out at SimStore

You can register and trial the service for free for a limited period too. Pricing for the Sync Service is not yet fixed but it is likely that there will be a free trial period for that too.

Come and have a look and sign up for the email, then you'll at least know when we go live with SyncML

www.mightyphone.com has worked pretty well for me. The is a free trial which gives you full access for the first 10 syncs.

very easy to set up and use

thanks guys, i found the old orange one but i've not used it for a while though, i think it's something like orange wallet but i remember that when i used it when i had the p800, it worked pretty well

i also found one that o2 supplied too, this was also free and that you only needed to pay for the gprs charges

Simstore ( http://www.simstore.com ) are currently trialling their remote synchronisation service. This is a SyncML servicxe which operates over GPRS.

We are looking for volunteers to help with the beta program. Currently we need people with Sony Ericsson phones - P800, P900, T68 and Z600. We will be rolling out support for Nokia phones in the next few weeks.

If you're interested in taking part in our trial, please contact [email][email protected][/email] and we'll set up a beta account for you along with sending you further instructions.

Beta testers will also receive free membership when the service goes live.
