Now this is a feature I have been waiting for! I cannot believe that RIM does not let us do this natively but ToySoft has fixed that with their latest app PictureLink.

There have been quite a few apps that prompt you to save a contact to your address book after a call but AddContactX adds a few twists to that model. Even their own more expensive AddOnis application lets you do the same thing. Still AddContactX has a specific focus that I know quite a [...]
Luis wrote a great article about Raketu earlier, which in the spirit of the web made me want to share info about superior alternative provider of cheap international calling.
