Contacts application that can handle 1000 contacts

[BentBarrels]

I posted this in the HTC Hero forum as well...

As I mentioned in a previous thread i have had my Hero for about 1 week. I primarily need my phone for business. I made the decision to go with Android due to it being google and ease of importing contacts and calendar etc.

I just imported 5,000 contacts into my phone and now if I need to find a contact it takes minutes to pull up.....

I really like this phone HOWEVER the keyboard (way to small to type quickly on) and the in ability to handle 1,000's of contacts is going to force me to trade this phone and head back to the black berry

Is there another application for android that can handle 1,000's of contacts?????

I'm interested in this question as well. I have ~1000 contacts in PalmOS, and searching for any contact is instantaneous (just start typing).

Also nice on the Palm: Buttons to automatically text message a contact or map the location (if a street address is included). It's going to be a tough move from PalmOS to Android...
