I've searched on this forum (and others), but can't find. Sometimes I keep relevant information about a contact in the notes field to remind me how I know the person, etc., and I'd like to be able to search on that field with a standard contact manager. Any ideas? Thanks.
try inesoft address book. it will allow you to type T9 style from the today screen to search through your contacts and contacts' notes
I am 100% sure that the Search program that comes with Pocket PC does search in the Note sections of the Contacts (Pocket Outlook)

Yeah...I did a search in my 1800 notes, 1000 contacts and it took 12 minutes to find it....on my treo...less than 10 seconds.
Being an ex database guy....I think the only way you are gonna get fast search is by making ALL data in the form of a dataBASE....like the Palm OS does (Pdb's)....AND....here's the critical thing...INDEXING EACH WORD.

I put appointments in my calendar, nothing odd about that. In those appointments I put phone numbers sometimes.
I then look at the appointment and want to call the number in the notes, is this odd? How do I do this easily?

Yeah, The default calender sucks and does not support this basic feature.
You might have to look for other PIM suite like Pocket Informant (Dont know if that one provide this option actually)
Hello,
What are the best options for an agenda appointments organizer? I am using windows mobile calendar and like having my appointments on the main screen, but maybe there are better options for that. My main complains are the screen space is not well used by Calendar and sometimes only one appointment is shown if another is just coincident.
Thanks.
Roberto.

I have problem sync with Outlook. Outlook 2007 sync delete all numbers in a contact list before uploading list from PC. This cause caller list turn to "unknown numbers". Another problem consist of deleting Favorite Numbers and pictures associated with them.
anyone had the same? any suggestions. Looks like Touchflo problem, because when i removed TF3D problem disapeared
I am considering buying Galaxy Note, but there is one issue I haven't been able to clear so far:
How compatible are the GN calendar (s-planner), memo (s-memo) and contacts with Outlook and Google calendar? Can I synchronize between GN and Outlook calendar and contacts? Are the s-memo notes transferred to PC and if so, can they be exported to any other format (Outlook memo? MS Onenote? Evernote? ASCII text? Graphics?)
I have already had Palm PDAs (with the Palm Desktop on PC), then WinMobile devices (with Outlook) and got quite used to the comfort of being able to view and edit contacts, schedules and memos on both PC and the mobile device. If GN doesn't allow this, this would be a serious downside for me.
Everything is synced with Google. If your Outlook syncs with google then it shouldnt be a problem with the calander and contacts. You can add s-memos to calander events, but if you dont do that, then you have to manually sync s-memo things to Google Docs. But other than that its completely autonomous. There are also a lot of apps that do what you want. I would recommend buying a Note.
syncs fine with hotmail, exchange, google and facebook.
I initially had an odd scenario where hotmail gained some facebook calendar events (birthdays) but that seems to have resolved itself.
Thank you for the answer.
It has been written somewhere that the latest version of S-Memo can also synchronize with Evernote. Can anyone confirm that? And if so, does it just send the content as an image or does it retain some more formatting (text? www links? etc.)

sync works with evernote but it send the notes as images.
I am a sync-o-phile (oo-er, sounds a bit rude), always have been.
I now have my calendar and contacts synced with Google & Outlook using and App called Sync2 from www.sync2.com. It seems to work fine, although can fail when outlook is closed and it is still alive (I close Outlook to sleep my PC or Outlook can crash). I sync it and several other web calendars at the same time.
I also have my Outlook to do list sync to ToodleDo, and then to Due Today both on my PC and my phone. It uses Outlook categories as Project names, which is neat. I have not tried linking with the Notes To Do list as this seems peculiar to the Note, and I want a more general solution.
I like that Google/Samsung now seems to carry over Outlook categories for contacts in the Note. That means I can use them properly.
I use Evernote to sync all my notes as it is far more powerful than the Google notes thing, and more generic. I also love the ability to open a file, edit it, and save again, and it updates the note.
I use Basecamp on my PC, phone, and the web for managing projects and collaborating with customers.
For files I use SugarSync, and it syncs with up to 3 devices, up to 2GB for free, and I typically just ignore it an expect my files to be wherever I am.
Odd thing is that I have noticed several contacts getting images from other sources I never asked to look up. I presume Facebook. This is bloody annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it?

This is quite possible. I have also noticed the same behaviour on my WinMobile phone (HTC Touch Pro2), so it is not directly an Android related issue. And yes, the images for my contacts that appeared suddenly without my consent, are the same as their Facebook profile images.
Got a Note!
You've managed to give me the information I needed and finally I bought a Note!
So far I have been able to confirm:
Synchronizing Smemo with Google Docs - works great, text remains text, while images are embeded in the document
Exporting contacts from Outlook to KIES worked "sort of", while exporting to Gmail and back to Note worked great. I have managed to retain all the information and even code page (I used ASCII, not Unicode) worked as expected.
Exporting calendar from Outlook to Gmail and back to Note worked almost perfectly (apart from some inconsistencies which were due to duplicate entries in Outlook)
As for contact photos, it seems that only those which originate from Facebook are added to contact data.

I got all my contact photos from way back, and those must have come through from Outlook -> Google -> Note as Outlook is the only constant source since I was first able to do this (with my Sony Clie)
Perhaps in my case Outlook photos would also have been added through Google, but I exported/imported them via a .csv file, which didn't retain photos, only text data.
My outlook contact photos sync perfectly.
