Almost all desktop PIM packages support vCards. The CM also makes it considerably easier to synchronise with desktop systems. This should no longer be the case. The Contacts Manager now provides one central storage area for all your essential contact information. It interfaces with the Email application so users no longer have to duplicate contact details, as was the case with the original Message Suite app.
All data is stored in one predefined file either on the C or D drive.
The option, however, of using more than one contacts file is not available. This will disappoint users who find the need to create multiple address files. For developers, the SDK now includes routines for accessing the CM data. This paves the way for the development of third party solutions. In use, the CM makes it considerably easier to navigate your contacts records.
