VOTE: Microsoft Outlook

I don't think it sucks. With Outlook I can access my contacts (around 3000 contacts) on my laptop, my workstation, and my cell phone. If it was just a matter of simply accessing my contacts, almost anything would do, but the integration with Word makes my life so much easier. Also, being able to tag my contacts and then just show specifically tagged contacts...HUGE. Now I can have a huge contact list but only show the ones I use frequently, or switch views to see a whole different list of contacts.

Looked for SO many other powerful contact managers, but NONE are working with so many systems (cell phones, other email progs, online sync [yes there is GMail sync which I am frequently using - www.scheduleworld.com], etc.)

Outlook IS just the industry standard, just like sending Word files is normal. There is NO better contact manager than outlook. Fuck Sunbird... sorry to say it like that but I really WISH it would be as good as Outlook, i'M a great Firefox fan, but the Contact Manager lags behind. If you need a powerful too integrated with everything (calendar, email, notes, appointments, MS Exchange Server... whatever) this is the way to go ;-)

I used to love Yahoo's Address book, built right into Yahoo IM. Nowadays I don't use YIM much, and have a GMail account, with a much, much poorer contact management setup. I really wish Google would get on the ball and really make a powerful contact manager, and then either integrate it with Gears, or release a standalone app for your computer. The day when outlook, gmail, and any other places I need to keep contacts not only can take a csv file, but also /stay synced/ will be an excellent day.

limitedmage

I've used so many.
Outlook: Runs on Windows only, overpriced for what it is, stability issues with large data files, compatbility issues with standards and other software, syncing problems.

Gmail: Limited number of data fields, web based so I can't access it everywhere.

Plaxio and other web based: web based so I can't access my contacts everywhere like for example my parents home where dial up on old long phone lines can only reach 34k.

Act: Windows only, syncing problems, almost too many fields that you never know which to use and can never get exports into the right field.

Mozilla/thunderbird address book, too few fields, exporting problems.

Kaddressbook/Kontact on linux is the base I've used so far but I can't get it running under windows and I can't get it syncing with anything else.

My biggest problem is no one program follows standards like vcard completely so its nearly impossible to import/export or sync or share between one and the other. That and all of them seem to be modeled around paper planners which is common fault I find with most PIM software.

VOTE: Mac Address Book

In today's tech world, a program cannot be properly evaluated solely by its standalone UI, it also needs to be taken into consideration how well it interacts and integrates with other applications. Apple's done something right here, making an address book database that's accessible by all of its programs and to any third party program as well (Adium's a prime example). Also, whether you have a Palm, Windows Mobile, or iPhone, there are simple ways to sync your contacts between devices. I guess .Mac syncing is also a plus, but I don't find it to be worth the $$. All other address book solutions I've tried have just been too proprietary (I know, ironic being said by a Mac user), but don't hang me for this.

Another plea & empathy for those wanting standardized fields. I love Plaxo, but it doesn't sync w/Palm (are they trying to hint hint that Palm is on it's way out?)

I want something like a desktop app like Palm Desktop that is accessible offline (maybe Google Gears has an answer for that?), an email list, contacts, phone, several customs for things like b-days, and mobile numbers.

In all honesty, PIM is THE biggest problem in my life and productivity. I have too many copies of too many contacts, with too many networks, and too many programs. Do I need to be connected by plaxo, linkedin, myspoace, facebook, friendster, et el?

Can't THE GOOGLE make something to simplify all of this? Why don't they buy plaxo and fix it? This is so frustrating to me.

Love the idea of Plaxo, but their Sync feature is incredibly buggy, and doesn't allow you to map fields. that give each contact the same email address at least twice.

I started using pageonce as a way to manage the social networks, but its not actually live, and you have to log into the sites which sucks.

Outlook is the closest one to getting it right, but it is a resource hog, and when using it on my 2.6ghz pc it still causes problems.
