We need more software like Yahoo Go!

IMO i love the whole connected to your online services thing. I now use Yahoo for my calender, notes and address book because it can sync with my phone which can slo sync back online too! So with this not only do i have a copy of my calender, To do and contacts no matter where i am but i can update it on the go.

I dont use the photo sync ( i use Shozu so i can upload to Youtube and Flickr). But i may try it sometime. Email sync is pointless for me as i use pop mail with Profimail.

This is something companies like Google and MS should really take note of. Integrate your bloody services instead of having too many seperate websites and software to check. Also syncing to mobile isnt enough now. The mobile must sync back. Oh and Yahoo add notes sync in the S60 v3 version.

Must admit, I tend to agree. I've been using Yahoo Go! for a while now and find what it offers to be so useful, I've moved my primary email to Yahoo, just to use my N80 with Yahoo Go! I've also given my wife access to my calendar so she can see what I am doing, safe in the knowledge that as I update it on my phone, it will update on the web. Also, my contacts are backed up. A great program.

(And like you, I also use Shozu, which is also a great progrma, especially it's ability to send a pic to multiple destinations, including ftp and email, from just one upload)

Well in fairness I feel I should point out that Mail For Exchange is operable with MS Exchange (though getting it to work on smaller servers isn't entirely intuative) but yes some more of these type of apps from the other online PIM services would be very welcome.
