Today I felt like blogging about Bloove.

Bloove , as I mentioned in the title, is a web-based mobile phone management, or web-based cell phone management. I’ve started using this useful free service for a couple of days now and I’m very satisfied with the features we can have for being a free user. This service allows you to edit address book contacts and speed dial settings, initiate calls and work with messages. All from your favorite browser. It is like PC Suite for the web, all you need is a wireless connection like GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, Wi-Fi, etc… No cable or infrared is needed, you will need to install Bloove Agent application on your phone, and no installs are required on the desktop. Of course as it is free there are some limits, such as you will not be able to connect more than one cell phone to your account and the contact archive is limited to 15 items, all the other features have no limits. You may manage an unlimited number of contacts on the phone, and there is no time limit - basic functions will be free forever. As they say in their FAQ, they are planning on introducing premium options such as more number of mobile phones and archive items allowed.

Now you are probably wondering where you can sign up, try this link and install the Bloove Agent and provide the secure ID displayed by the agent on your cell phone into your browser, you can install Bloove Agent buy pointing your cell phone browser here and it will automatically choose the version according to your cell phone. You can give a peak here on which cell phones are supported by Bloove Agent. If you want further information try visiting Bloove’s FAQ.

Now let’s have a look on the inside. First thing I can say is that they are really good on the design stuff, they have a nice, simple and very intuitive control panel, the colors just combine all together, turning it into a very beautiful website. It has some kind of a status bar on the header position that gives you information on the sync process between the Bloove servers and your cell phone. On my cell phone (Nokia 6600, old but still works :P) I downloaded Bloove Agent, inserted the ID displayed by the application after my first run, and it synchronized all my important data into my control panel on its first run, very fast and simple, the application has nothing to it except for starting it and choosing the internet connection if you have more than one.

I tried sending a text message from my browser to me (just a test), what did it do? Well, to send a text message to anybody, you have to have your phone synchronized and connected to the internet, then when you click on the send button it triggers Bloove Agente on giving an order to your phone to send what your wrote to a specific number that you mentioned on your browser, they also have a call feature that I haven’t tried yet, but should be similar to the text message one.

This is really something you should use if you have a compatible phone with Bloove Agent, it’s always a good thing to have this kind of backup of your data, never know when you will lose it if you only have it stored in one place.
