I have over 600 contacts on my iPhone and it is a complete nightmare. The fact that smart phones do not intelligently dial numbers based on where you are in the world is absurd (eg: prepend dialing code!!) The fact I have numerous contacts of the same people, each with different details (eg: two direct contacts named Oliver Cameron, one with an email, one with a mobile phone number) and then the iPhone never telling you which is which when you need to sms/email. I would also love smart contact groups, like extract all the contacts with only email addresses, so that every time I wish to dial or sms a contact, I can only select actually useful ones. And so on.

> ... intelligently dial numbers based on where you are in the world ... I lived abroad for a year. The pain of manually adding '+44' to every contact in my addressbook (directly on my non-smartphone) meant that I've only used international numbers ever since.

  Indeed, I've been travelling so much this year that every number now has +44 in it

>The fact I have numerous contacts of the same people, each with different details Why? Can't you simply add all the details in the same contact?

  Sync is a tremendously difficult problem for contacts

    SyncML between two Nokia phones and their server has been working fine for me :)
