Web-based phone management? All you need is Bloove

bloove(Well, it was either that or some variant on ‘Bloove is in the heart’, sorry)

Bloove is a web-based app that works with a Symbian S60 or UIQ client to let you manage your phone’s contacts, initiate calls and send SMS messages.  There is also an archival feature that allows you to save old messages and rarely-used contacts to free up space on your phone.

The developers describe it as being ‘Like PC suite for the web’ although a closer match would be Nokia Beta Labs’ PC Phone.

Bloove’s big advantage over PC Phone is that it works using your Internet connection, whereas PC Phone requires a USB or Bluetooth connection and will only work in conjunction with a Windows PC running the Firefox web browser.

Bloove is platform independant and officially supports Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox (and will probably work with others).

The basic version of Bloove is free but allows only 10 contacts and 100 messages to be archived. There is a (price TBA) upgrade planned that will allow archiving of unlimited contacts and messages.
