Contact Managers

I thought it would be good to have a thread on the different Contact Managers available, what people use and why.


This is not a 'help thread' - please see the relevant thread for help


Personally i have been using the Windows built in one, but have recently moved to Resco Contact Manager (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/default.asp).

If everyone could say (and link to) what they recommend it would be greatly appreciated :)



Resco - Easy to use, nice large finger friendly operation, sensitivity can be a issue.
BETA is Free

*** TIPS ***

Map the contact manager to double press green button with AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) and integrate it in TF3D with SSMaPa (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777).

I recommend using the iContact over Resco due to the fact the Resco Contact Manager eats more RAM.

iContact = Around 515 KB
Resco Contact Manager = Around 1257 KB

This thread sure is a good idea! Will you manage a list in the first post? Maybe we can add how we use our Contact Managers, so the first post reference offers a best practice as well?

I still use the standard Contact Manager, but I'll try iContact Burt Edition (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724) soon, probably map it to double press green button with AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) and integrate it in TF3D with SSMaPa (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777).

I tried iContact & found it good, but I didn't use it for long as I was interested in testing other contact managers.
So I tried Yota & whilst it had a wonderful interface, it caused me loads of problems (perhaps due to conflicts with other stuff on my phone ?) & ate too much memory.
Then I tried Resco's COntact Manager & am still plying around with it.
I like the look of it's interface but don't like it handling incoming calls. I feel TF3D does the job perfectly & looks far better. So I've basically disabled anything other than the simple contact functions, which is all I really need, just a 'catalogue' of contacts & no extra frills.
Will have to wait until the final gets released to see whether I'll keep it.

I was a bit confused about the iContact versions.
Can anyone enumerate the basic details of each version so I can see which one may be best for me ?

iContact Burt Edition, with DAD Diamond Black VGA skin's is the best contact manager. For memory usage and speed... IMHO
