First of all I want to say that the search option in the contacts application is very nice: incremental search over all fields Modest, pimlico contacts and the normal contacts application are all using the *same* database. So its no problem to add new mail addresses via modest or have a look for postal adresses via pimlico contacts. Next step would be synchronisation: Thats possible and works fine with syncevolution. I use scheduleworld.com as internetdatabase for contacts and so I'm able to sync the adresses of my mobile, my desktop-computers and my n800. A few month ago I installed the rtcomm beta release. After this a lot of IM services where selectable and I could use my normal home voip account on the tablet! I received calls to my home telephone on my n800 in the train while commuting. The contacts application was used by the messenger and voip-application. So I don't would agree if somebody says the contacts application is very poor. It's like a small flower which has to grow. And yes, it would grow faster if the contacts application would be open source.
