Developers apparently don't need real PIMs, butconsumers do. It doesn't qualify as a consumer device without it.2) If you're willing to enter all your data by hand, or edit each andevery imported field in order clean up the records, then gpe-contactsand Pimlico are great. However, if you need good import/exportfunctionality, you're screwed regardless of which app you use, andthat includes the built-in Contacts app. I have over 400 records (with many fields) that I need to transfer to& from my N800, so I definitely fall under the category of "you'rescrewed".
