I'm like you, I've been using PIM since my old Palm IIIxe days. I just don't understand how Nokia and the others (it's not Nokia alone) have not updated standards and features of address books. Thanks for reading and for your comments, Jeb @RSM,

I started organizing my contacts when using a Palm Vx. Though Palm OS had many faults, it's PIM suite was very strong and it is a shame that something so basic is not fully implemented in the high end phones of today. In particular, categorizing contacts seems to be hit or miss on smartphone platforms and the services with which they synchronize. Nokia has totally dropped the ball on this, not providing for a basic feature such as synchronizing category information outside of the PC Suite software.
