e-Mobile just let me know that they released another BlackBerry app today. It is called e-Mobile Contacts and looks really cool. Sadly there is no trial but you can pick it up for $14.95 from Handango.com. You can catch more screenshots at this link.
Features:
- Powerful contact management, tightly integrated with BlackBerry address book
- Search contacts by pressing the trackball
- Advanced T9 search and filter capability
- Email & SMS with one click
- Easily create new contacts or modify existing contacts
- At-a-glance view of all contacts. Click for more details
Seems useful if you are having issues with RIM’s native address book. Hopefully one of the team will want to review it soon.

Another E-Mobile questionable product. Several of their products are simply remade versions of built-in apps. They look nice, but they add few or no new features that what you already have. And they remove functionality that the built-in apps have.
This company has potential, but until they release products that do MORE than the built-in apps and offer free trials, I don’t see them being too successful.
(I tried their tasks application and it was a joke)

I’m not quite sure how this is an improvement over the native BB address book. As far as I can tell from the review, it’s just a pretty interface. It almost seems to slow you down a bit. When you’re in the BB address book, just typing any part of the name will match the closest record, which makes the letter buttons pretty much useless. And creating a new contact in the BB address book is really easy– just type the name, if no match is found, press the Enter key and it brings up a new contact record with the name you typed filled into the form. It doesn’t get easier than this. Maybe I don’t get it?
