Feature Request: Basic Contact management

[Iain-Stevenson]

Couldn't see this anywhere in the features or in the issues else so here goes.

I'd like to manage basic contact info;

Ideally its NOT what I'd call contact relationship management as that's a whopper of a feature extension.

So I'm not talking full blown outlook style contact bloatware, just managing my chosen name for contacts/People with an open ended list containing possible contact points of any type i.e. Url(s), email(s), phone(s), VOIP(s), SMS Numbers and postal address(es) etc....

This and an aggregated/unified inbox would mean I can kiss outlook and thereby MS Office bye-bye.

Personally not interested in birthday or who their manager is.... or in any of the other Outlook functions, Tasks, Notes, Diary., Appointments... never use them,

But if others want that then who am I to say no :-)

Thanks for the suggestion @Iain-Stevenson. Would this be something like the new Google Contacts (screenshot attached)? Could this integrate with other contact sources, like Apple Group Contacts from #406.

I forgot the screenshot...

[Iain-Stevenson]

Yeah that would be the sort of thing.

I was trying to convey the idea of a Outlook (sorry old habits die hard) Contacts (lite) concept and at the risk of feature creep here I guess it would be popular if that data could be scavenged from our existing Outlook/Gmail or whatever accounts and mapped to a common schema for a minimalist way to look up info on our contacts as well as email them .

Trust me I know that's quite a bit of work pulling that down from the various data sources and rendering a CRUD interface for the whole shebang, on top of actually being able to use it when sending or replying to mails, however, as it seems N1 is heading towards a universal offline map app of choice this has to be where it leads. IMHO

What say you all?

I'd personally go for a lite-style look. Google's way of doing things is quite chunky and big.

@ThePsionic What is this lite-style look? I am looking for examples. The contact management interfaces I prefer are iOS and Google Contacts because the shrink the unnecessary fields, but don't hide those fields entirely.

[invalidCards]

Oh yeah, I just checked out Google Contacts. Looks like a fine system to me then.

+1 for this (#2835) getting fixed ASAP. My boss is labeled in N1 as "classifieds" (which I just learned is visible to other recipients), because my first interaction with him was through a job search. I'd be laughing if it wasn't happening to me. :(

+1 as well.. I have some random name on an alias account. I've search google contacts and my emails, have no idea where this name came from and also can't find a backend way to change it.
