And the COntacts that ships isn't very useful.  I got suckered into 
using it, put street addresses in as AIM addresses of some such, and 
failed to install gpe contacts because I thought I already had it....  
Now I've got both contactses (what is the plural of a plural word, 
anyway?) and have to move entries from one to the other.  Having a 
Contacts application already on my N800 has actually harmed usability.

Contacts and Calendar definitely have to be linked.  I want my 
appointments to link to the contact entry so I know where to go, and I 
want my COntacts entry to link to the appointments so I can check on 
when my next and last dentist visits are/were, cor example.

I don't have as much need for these other links, but I admit they mioght 
be useful.
