Looking for a Decent Contacts Manager

As it happens, one of the 2011 NANY pledges is a new address book/contacts app. So here's your chance to contribute some ideas and maybe get the contacts management app *you* want. :)

Ah!  one of my favorite subjects.  I actually joined this forum initially because I was looking for addressbook software.  Unfortunately, addressbook software are considered outdated today because everyone just uses whatever is on their email program, and more accurately, whatever they use for their cell phones.  Most people are fine with just having their contacts on their phones.

here are the threads that talk about this.  Even though these are old threads, the software mentioned hasn't changed.  My favorite that I still use is Handy Addressbook.  It's the best of the bunch.

Addressbook Shootout

Despite what those threads say, I am currently using Handy Addressbook as my contacts manager.

Thanks SB. I did look at those and am checking out some of those apps, but since the threads are two years old I thought I would get some up-to-date info.

Thanks again!

Jim

Yeah but I can't afford to wait till the 2011 NANY apps are ready. I kinda need something now. There was a contacts app in last year's NANY too. Unfortunately development seems to have stopped in the early stages.

Thanks!

That's what I'm saying.  i kind of keep my eye out for this kind of software.  There's nothing new that has come out in the last 5 years.  Nobody really cares about this software.  Try out Handy Addressbook.  If it's not good enough, let me know what is missing, and I'll see if there's anything else that I know about.

The other one to try is Infoqube.  it could be set up to probably do everything you are looking for.  but you will need to learn how it works.

Jim,
Do give WinOrganizer a try, if you haven't already. I've found it to be the best PIM for my needs and it has an excellent contacts module integrated - you can attach files and alarms to contacts.
