Dashwire, which has developed a mobile phone backup service that allows users to sync contacts, photos, music, text messages and other mobile content with an online Web service, has raised nearly $1 million in financing, according to a SEC filing. The Seattle startup, led by former Microsoft product manager Ford Davidson, could not be immediately reached for comment.

Dashwire raised $515,000 in financing earlier this year. Investors in the company at that time included Trilogy Equity Partners, angel investor Geoff Entress and others.

Founded four years ago, Dashwire inked a key partnership last year with Best Buy to provide the retailer's new mobile phone back-up service known as mIQ. Best Buy also is an investor in the company.

The Dashwire platform is currently available for Android, Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones.

UPDATE: Davidson tells me that the new funding is an extension of the previous $515,000 round. He also provided an update on the business, saying that 2010 "was a great year for the company and our team." And Davidson said that more good news is on the way.

"We recently signed another licensing agreement with a large customer, have an update to our current product in market that is coming soon, and have an awesome new product in development, all of which will be made public in 2011," he said.
