O2 has announced the launch of a new service that allows customers to store valuable personal information to a free, web-accessible account.

My bluebook will keep track of contacts, text messages, pictures, and video clips that can be stored online for personal use, or shared with friends and family.

Anyone who has ever lost their entire address book because of a failure to back it up correctly will realise the value of this free account. O2 says that it is being launched because 80-85% of mobile users they surveyed wanted to be able to back up their contacts easily.

Twenty-five per cent want to be able to backup photos, while a further 10-15% want to store texts securely.

In order to upload data, O2 customers send them to 40202 from their mobile. At the moment, they can then print photos or emblazon them on various products. From early next year, O2 plans to let My bluebook subscribers to upload any text or picture message they create or receive to the site.

The company will then extend the service, but not until May, to let users backup address book automatically.

Anyone use this service yet?

If so how you what do you think?
 
From the sounds of it the service isn't really up and running till early next year! It sounds like a nice idea but I can't see me making use of it. I can already back up the most important things via my computer. There's no real point in backing up txts, realistically who actually re-reads old messages??
 
ive signed up to it and all my msgs that r sent to me and the ones ive sent r all saves online so it seems to be working now there but no contacts saved online yet lol
 
You have to sign up to O2 contacts (something like that) and then a message is sent to your phone which installs a synchronization program on your phone - when you synchronize from your phone it then backs up all your contacts (only phone not sim) to the O2 Bluebook

I've signed up and got it up and running with my E65. Seems to work great, can sync my phone with the online version of my contacts and keep it all up to date.
Also can see all the messages that have been sent to my phone since i signed up. Would be usefull to be able to send messages online too (even if it was charged) but i'm happy that my contacts are backed up now, lost them a while back and it was a total pain!
 
The web page was broken yesterday but seems ok again today.

Have just noticed it doesn't join multipart messages when you review them online.
