Comments on: Fancy A Copy Of VITO FunContact? http://www.etenblog.com/2008/01/28/win-funcontact2/ Making Windows Mobile Life Better Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:49:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: steveazee http://www.etenblog.com/2008/01/28/win-funcontact2/#comment-1800 steveazee Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:28:15 +0000 http://www.etenblog.com/2008/01/28/win-funcontact2/#comment-1800 Currently, it doesn't seem like this application could be a stand along contact manager. If I want to change (for example) the ringtone for a contact, I still need to get to another program (Pocket Informant, for example) to do that update. I think I would use FunContact more if I knew I could get to all the contact info I needed in one program. I definitely prefer the UI to anything else I've seen.

I occasionally still jump to some random part of the alphabet because I try to scroll too far to the right or left.

Wish it can filter contacts based on categories. No complaints on speed and overall appearance.

It's faster, clearer, better design and many more. Just trying my luck, if not i'll intend to buy it after my trial period is over.
