The Microsoft Phone Data Manager synchronizes files and contacts between phone and Windows

When you want to make the most out of your Windows account as well as your mobile phone, you want to make sure that you can synchronize contacts, as well as other files. This can take a significant amount of time if you do not have the right software. The Microsoft Phone Data Manager is a simple program that you can download – and it is only 3 MB. The language is in English and the license is free, offering even more benefits to you.

For years, Apple users have had the ability to synchronize with ease. Windows users can now benefit using this program because they are able to synchronize contacts and transfer files with the click of a button. This means that you can use virtually any handheld device and your PC in order to make sure the same files are on each.

You will not have to do much transferring because the software will walk you through everything. You will be able to share data between your Windows account as well as any phone, tablet or PDA that you have. The variety of devices that are supported by Microsoft Phone Data Manager is impressive.

The program is designed to transfer all of your contacts along with videos, music, and photos so that your PC has the same information as your phone or tablet. If you are mobile, this program is one you will want to have. You will also need to make sure that you have Windows live, which is an account that you can set up for free. The program does not support Yahoo, Gmail or other webmail providers, however.

Microsoft Phone Data Manager is very easy to use. The application will automatically detect any device that you have connected. It will then prompt you to complete the synchronization. You will be able to connect using USB cables or Bluetooth, depending upon the functions of both your computer and your mobile device.

The program is still in beta form, though it has proven to be effective. It is fast and reliable when it comes to synchronizing all of your files to create a backup. The only thing that the program is lacking is a file explorer, which makes it a little difficult to find specific files as well as to prevent duplicate backups.

If you have ever struggled with not having the same information on your computer as you have on your phone – or the other way around, it is important that you have some kind of synchronization program. Microsoft Phone Data Manager has proven itself to be simple to use for novice users as well as advanced users alike, and is worth the download.
