HTC Touch2 launching October 6th with Windows Mobile 6.5

Hey, HTC -- pull up a chair. Listen, we admire your tenacity and all, but did you realize that both Nokia World and IFA kicked off today? Cool, just making sure. Now that we're past that, we'd like to introduce you (as in, the audience) to one of the world's first "Windows phones," the Touch2. Packing a full touchscreen and an all-too-familiar design (remember the HTC Mega?), this here smartphone will launch with Windows Mobile 6.5, the outfit's TouchFLO interface, Microsoft Exchange support, a redesigned Internet Explorer Mobile and the new My Phone service to back up and sync photos, music, contacts and text messages for free from the Touch2 to the web. There's no word on exact pricing and availability, but it'll be available somewhere in this wide world October 6th, with broad availability in Europe and select Asian markets promised for early Q4.

Or you could use the free myphone service. In fact there should be a client pre-installed on 6.5 devices.
It also allows you to access your data from any internet connected computer.

Um, then again maybe it isn't so safe having all your data in the cloud.

I use PIM Backup, a great, free (donations accepted) stand-alone executable that can sit on your memory card and back up any and all info (including folders and files) to your sd card. I have all of my sms and call history intact through 8 rom flashes on my touch pro (I tinker way too much).

It's hard to pay 19 bucks for a solution the awesome XDA community has solved years ago.
