Microsoft has released a beta version of its Phone Data Manager. Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta is a PC application that enables you to connect your mobile phone with PC. With this application, you no longer have to fear the unfortunate circumstance of misplacing your phone or corrupting its contents – your contacts, precious pictures and videos and music files can be kept safe.
It can synchronize your phone contacts with Microsoft’s Windows Live Contacts and download files from the phone to your local computer.
Contacts: Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta synchronizes the contacts present in your phone with your contact store on Windows Live Contacts, which is the same store that your Hotmail contacts uses.
Music, Pictures and Video: Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will download the music, pictures and videos present in your phone to a local folder on the computer you are using this application.
Communication with your phone: Microsoft Phone Data Manager can connect to your PC via USB data cable or via Bluetooth.
Microsoft Phone Data Manager is available for free download, you can check the list of compatible phones for this application here.

Microsoft Phone Data Manager syncs over USB or Bluetooth, and Microsoft has published a list of supported and unsupported phones. The list only includes phones they’ve actually tested, meaning if yours isn’t on either list, you may still be in luck. The Windows-only application is currently in beta and is free to download.
