If you dug the interface in FlipSide, Electric Pocket has recently tweaked it and made PhoneFace, allowing you to scroll through pictures of friends to call and text them. Pictures can be taken from your BlackBerry’s camera, nabbed off your media card, or even imported from Facebook. This is a pretty slick idea (along the same lines as PictureDial) that I could see as an eventual full Address Book replacement. Throw a few more options in there like e-mail and MMS, maybe add some group options, ability to zoom in and out of a grid, and you’ve got something pretty awesome. Interested? Give PhoneFace a shot for 7 days free!

    Actually I think RIM ought to integrate such function directly into the Address Book, and let me select an address book custom view that shows me thumbnails or larger pics for any contact with a picture associated.

    Incredibly slow, and a serious memory hog. I’ll be watching its progress, but it’s not usable for me as it stands.
