Help HTC Inspire 4G Address Book

[pbridges]

I just purchased this phone and the contacts was downloaded via simcard but a lot of addresses didn't come down with the transfer so I am trying to put them in but I can't figure it out. Can you please help me?

Welcome to the Android Forums!

If you check in the Android Market you'll find several apps that will pull contact information off of sim cards...

I've had my Inspire(tm) for a while and my contacts are a complete mess thanks to all of the "sync" and "cross link" and "fritter" and "bird book" and other sources of names+numbers that have loaded themselves auto-magically into my PEOPLE app.

There is a feature that I think is called "linking." In addition, there are various ways to have more than one phone associated with a single person. It seems that "linking" finds matching details among various people and ties the contacts together. At one level, this is fine when I enter a person's name and linking finds their Fritter and Bird Book accounts. However, it is a real mess when it collects all of the contacts that work for a common company and make a mashup of all those details. Spread this across everyone I thought I knew, and ...

[hightlight]... you get a complete mess ...

Feeling similar pain,

If they didnt all transfer via your sim card, they are probally saved to your phone..

once you have a mess, is there some way to clean it up other than
edit each contact?

Can someone recommend a really good, feature rich contact manager and address book app?

Thanks,
