I use lots of phones and can't imagine any other way to keep names and numbers synchronized across them otherwise.
With your new scheme, how would I export numbers I added using opimd to the SIM so they remain accessible when I use another phone? > and the time has come to just "let it go". > You can easily import the sim contacts, and if there is a demand, we can > probably write an SHR application that imports the SIM data on "first run > with specific SIM" (like a couple of phones do). > But to tell you thet truth, I don't think it worths the hassle. You obviously have a very different concept of use to me. I would be very happy if the SIM were treated as as sort of dumbed-down version of the full database stored on the phone, provided it could sync both ways, so numbers I added on the openmoko were available when I put the SIM in another phone (although possibly in somewhat munged form to allow for the SIM's limitations), and numbers I added to the SIM on other phones appeared next time I put it back in the openmoko.
