Sorry for the delay… but I LOVE your website! It looks amazing (really like the wallpapers – “I heart Windows Phone”… that was fast!) and graphic design of everything. It is awesome. I will definitely be checking back often!

you can edit calendar on website on pc, but the windows live and myphone systems do not allow you to see or edit calendar on your phone. this is a subject of frequent complaints/wishlist on the msft forums online.

hopefully we will finally get windows live syncing of calendar to the phone.

this will mean you can sync contacts and calendar to your phone wirelessly all the time, for free.

Installed Software onto my Old Sprint Mogel (WM6.1), connected to the site, upload complete. Nice easy. What is Microsoft up to these days.

That said, site needs some work, be nice to more easily download picutres and video to your computer.

@Andrew If you’re a Microsoft Loyalist you might like my site but with regards what I think Microsoft should and could bring to the Windows Mobile platfoirm in 7 you might like to read this – http://mymicrosoftlife.com/tag/windows-mobile-7/

Oh right. Yeah that would be wonderful. I have been waiting literally for years for them to get things together. Every time they announce a new piece of software that does something different, but doesn’t do everything, I keep wondering why I am still waiting. If it weren’t for my MS loyalty! WM7 better get things right, finally, though.

@Andrew That was my point, there has long been rumours and things pointing to Mesh powering the My Phone service but Mesh is about to become part of the Windows Live suite of services so it makes sense that My Phone will be integrated with the WinLive services so there is only one online storage location from Microsoft for contacts, appointments etc etc.

P.S. I’m really liking the little pictures that show up for those of us without profiles… maybe I won’t add my picture because I like them so much.

@Long – You can already sync and edit contacts and appointments with MyPhone.

@Avatar X – You can already sync full files with MyPhone (pictures, video, whatever) and full apps with Windows Marketplace for Mobile (just not settings, etc.).

@Lebohang Bucibo – You can already sync WL contacts with Windows Live for Mobile and Windows Live Calendar with Outlook Connector and then Activesync.

@Gilly2486 – You can already edit WL contacts and appointments using the online service (Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar and/or MyPhone – both work, take your pick).

WOW! I wasn’t really thinking this until I wrote up that whole reply, but let’s hope the one NEW feature of WM7 is that they aggregate all these different pieces of software into ONE! I don’t want MyPhone to only do files, WL online service to work contacts, Outlook Connector to be required for calendar, etc. etc.

ONE UNIFIED PLATFORM!!!! I won’t hold my breath….
