These days, phones have evolved quite a bit – some of them even think they are multimedia computers
However, there’s still a need for decent backup solutions – certain devices have quite elegant ones (the iPhone and iTunes come to mind), whereas are slightly more, shall we say, functional. So when I came across the “TrailBlazer Sim Memory Reader Pro” from MobileFun, I was pleasantly surprised. It seems to blend the most effective way to get data between a mobile device and a computer (sideloading), with some decent connectivity and software to help you manage file movement:
The TrailBlazer Sim Memory Reader Pro is a must-have accessory for transferring or backing-up your mobile phone’s files and sim contacts. The sim card editor is simple to install and really easy to use. You can back up both contacts and text messages with a simple click of a button. It allows you to tidy up your phone book easily using your computer keyboard, so you can edit names and numbers in seconds rather than fiddling with your phone’s keypad.
Lightweight and compact enough to be kept in your pocket the TrailBlazer Sim Memory Reader Pro supports all of the popular storage cards available today, including SDHC, SD, M2, MicroSD and MicroSDHC. As it’s USB, the TrailBlazer makes it really quick and easy to transfer photos and music files between your PC and other devices like phones and cameras.
What makes the TrailBlazer extra special compared to all other memory card readers is that it reads both memory cards and your sim card! So with the free software provided, you can use the TrailBlazer to read, store, transfer and edit your contacts and files instantly!

This thing can read pretty much any memory card, and because it takes the SIM too, provide pretty much a total backup solution. Anyway, for an absolute bargain at £9.99, I’d say really you can’t go far wrong!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
