vufone blog

I’m new around here.  Let me introduce myself.  My name is Jeb Brilliant, and I’m a bit of a mobile nerd.  I also pride myself on being very up-to-date on all the news and goings on in the mobile industry.  I like most anything that’s mobile and wireless.  What I like more is anything that can save me time and effort - that’s where vufone comes in.

Since I’m new here I thought I would start at the beginning by explaining in my own words what vufone does.  Basically it’s a sync application on steroids.  First it will sync your calendar and contacts from Outlook or Google with your handset, but vufone also syncs your text messages (SMS), photos, music, videos, documents, and tasks.  vufone is the only app that can sync so much of your content all in one program.  The vufone website acts as the middle man and does a great job of it. I had a very convoluted system for syncing that I am simplifying with vufone.  I’m going to focus on calendar and contact syncing in this first post.  Please also bare in mind I see things as a Nokia smart phone user so my view on some things may be a bit different then yours.

I started off by signing up for the vufone service at www.vufone.com.  Then I sent out a link to the download via a text message.  It arrived in a few seconds and I clicked it and started the download process.  As I was downloading the app to my phone, a Nokia N79, I clicked on the calendar section of the vufone website and found the Google logo.  By clicking on it I was given the ability to authorize vufone to sync with my Google account.  It couldn’t have been easier.  Calendar and contacts are authenticated separately, so follow the same steps for the contacts section.

Once I had authorized vufone to sync with Google calendar, the download to my phone was complete; then I began the syncing process.  After a few minutes I was set, the calendar on my phone was fully synchronized with my Google calendar.  The best part, and most important to me, is that now my phone can sync with Google automatically and regularly without me doing anything.  I don’t have to try to remember to sync my phone anymore it’s all done for me and, like I said before, anything that can save me time and effort I like.

In the next blog post I will talk more about another great vufone feature.  It’s nice meeting you all and if you have any questions or want to chat you can email me at Jeb@vufone.com (email will be active in another day or two) or on Twitter at @JebBrilliant.  Please also add @vufone on Twitter so you can follow us and keep in the loop.
