I have trouble getting away from my BlackBerry Address Book. As simple as this stock application is, as basic at it looks, it simply works. E-Mobile Software Inc. has come out with e-Mobile Contacts, an app designed to give you an at-a-glance view of all of your contacts, and the option of contacting those in your address book by e-mail, phone or SMS – depending on the contact information you have stored on your device. I was pretty excited to get my hands on an Address Book replacement because of all the possible benefits of the user interface, and the potential this holds for speeding up the endless search for contacts. And from what I’ve seen of e-Mobile Contacts, the UI looks pretty clean. Perhaps I won’t have to type Xela Zsang’s name every time I want to get to her info!

    as if i would ever pay 16 bucks for an app without trying it out first. I’m offended as a reader and a bb user

    agreed, $16 is pretty weighty without a free trial.

    @Packman

    I think JB’s scores indicate that eMobile Contacts isn’t better than the BlackBerry address book.

    I have it. My thoughts:

    1. It’s not as fast as the BB Address Book.
    2. If it’s running prior to a PIM change (add/delete/modify contacts, including sync), a full reboot of the phone is necessary for those changes to be reflected in E-Mobile Contacts.
    3. It looks nice and is fairly functional.

    Agreed! Way too much money to spend without even a free 10 day trial. I have no problems with my stock BB address book. You just hit the first letter or two of the persons name and scroll down. I’ve got over 850 contacts and growing. If they could improve one thing it would have to be the ability to remove duplicates easier when you sync your phone as I have only found Plaxo to be good for that after you sync it to your Outlook then to your BB.
