Mobile Share<\/em> seems like a\u00a0 simple but potentially handy new service. It lets you create a personal online contact page, a simple mobile formatted web page containing your name and phone number. A link on the page lets you share it by sending the URL in a text message. Another link lets the recipient add your name and number to their phone’s contacts with a single click.\u00a0 I see this as an alternative to sharing a contacts with Bluetooth. I’d\u00a0 love to do without the hassle of\u00a0 entering matching PINs on both phones that Bluetooth requires in order to send a vCard.\u00a0 Bluetooth sharing also occasionally fails to work, especially when sending contacts between\u00a0 different brands of phones.<\/p>\n

Not that Mobile Share is foolproof either. The SMS sending and add to address book functions are implemented using a couple of relatively uncommon URI schemes,\u00a0 sms:<\/a> and wtai:\/\/<\/a>, which are supported by many but by no means all phones. One notable exception is the iPhone, which doesn’t\u00a0 support either. I couldn’t get it to work on a three year old BlackBerry either. If you have a phone that supports wtai:\/\/ and sms:,\u00a0 as most Nokias andSony Ericssons, do Mobile Share looks like a pretty easy where to share your contact info.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/span> Dimitry at Mobile Share emailed me\u00a0 to say that he has updated the site to work with iPhones.\u00a0\u00a0 When an iPhone is detected Mobile Share now uses\u00a0 mailto: and a vcard instead of sms: and wtai:\/\/ .<\/p>\n
