I have recently come back into the Blackberry fold. I used a Blackberry as my primary PDA for years ending this summer when I decided that I could no longer afford to replace them. I seem to break 3 or 4 a year and even at eBay prices, that adds up.

First I went with a Windows Mobile HTC Touch Diamond. That was a total disaster as it was the biggest piece of crap I had used since I owned a Kyocera 7135 (now THAT was a total POS). I started hating my HTC Touch about 5 days after receiving it. This isn’t an HTC Touch review so I won’t go into a rant, but it’s a really, really bad phone.

OK, moving on; since I had already decided that I was not going to buy another Blackberry, I simply devolved to a normal old cell phone. It was cheap and it did the one thing I really need a phone to do: make phone calls. Unbelievably, a month or so into it, the charger port broke on that phone so it now ended up in the bottom drawer with all the other broken Blackberries.

I sighed, bit the bullet, and bought yet another Blackberry. I really hope I don’t break this one.

Anyhow, now that I am back, I am looking for an Over The Air (OTA) backup web service and surprisingly I can’t find one. There are a variety of services that will sync parts of your Blackberry such as Google Contacts and Calendar, but nothing that will take all your settings and third party apps and suck them into the cloud. Or at least nothing that I’ve found.

Therein lies my challenge. Does anyone know of any OTA Blackberry backup solutions that I can check out?
