CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Anyone could use a break from squinting at the mobile phone's modest screen, especially if it's to do such tedious tasks as adding multiple contacts, sending text messages, or titling your photos. Dashwire provides ocular respite and more with an elegant solution for visually managing the contacts and media of your Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phone, online.
From the small phone application, you can update your status and autopost it to Twitter and Facebook. You'll also be able to view, send, and title photos and videos, and manually sync the phone with your online account.
From your personal dashboard on Dashwire.com, tiles for a number of functions are arranged on a single screen that you can customize by dragging and dropping elements for text messages, photos, ringtones, call history, and speed dial. Almost every action you can take on the phone you can do on Dashwire.com--compose a text, share a photo, add a bookmark--and some you wish you could, like get CallWave visual voice mail (in beta) to listen to voice messages in any order.
Technically a beta, Dashwire still has some kinks to work out, but you'll hardly notice the tiny omissions. More likely you'll wish to pad it with more features for managing and loading other types of content onto the phone, like documents, for one.

Version: Dashwire 2.0
"A Must Have for Windows Mobile"
Pros: This is a GREAT app! It syncs everything on your phone and saves it. If you need to do a hard reset on your phone, you just reinstall the dashwire app and have everything set back the way it was.
Cons: There are a few bugs, but nothing really big.

Version: Dashwire 2.0
"Not working for me as it should"
Cons: It seems to be an amazing software and I really think that I'll use it and like it at lot.
Before that, the software seems to hang at my mobile (Samsung BlackJack) and after 2 days using it, my data is not complete synchronized...
I'm using Exchange and I'm not sure if there's a conflict with it.
Hope I get it working asap! Thanks guys.

Version: Dashwire 2.0
Pros: Just downloaded & installed, but so far sync of pics, contacts, texts, etc. are the answer to my mobile prayers. These are things that I worry about loosing if my device crashes.
Cons: Haven't found any yet.
Summary: Well I don't want to speak to soon, but if this program continues like it is now, then it is a must have for all Windows Mobile users. Keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that it continues to wow me.
