OT; phone argument

[Stephen]

You can chooseto use Google for contact management or not. If you have Your
own server you can attach that via a number of technologies

I prefer android because of the open source half and currently use
CyanogenMod because it is built-up from the android opensource.

I personally love android for its form function and versatility. I use the
Google contacts for mypersonal uses just fine. But for business it would be
my own server and likely a funambol or similar technology linking my device.
