One of the gripes people have told me about the Storm is that navigating your contact list is not as smooth as it used to be on QWERTY devices. Phrehnck seems to think the same and decided to do something about it with his new application called acceloDex. It simplifies and speeds up your navigation of your contact list. It is probably not as integrated as the native address book but it looks pretty slick and the features sound just right. At $4.99 it might be a hard sell for Phrehnck but it looks like there is a free trial.
From the description:

- Landscape scroll speed controlled by the steepness of the tilt
- Jump straight to contacts starting with the letter you choose (Touch the very bottom in landscape/far right in portrait)

- App goes completely into sleep mode when running in background(like logMaid)
