FYI on my Touch I needed to put double quotes around the file path registry entry "Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"

I have been using SSMAPA (previously mentioned in this thread) to do this for about as long as I have had my Diamond. It works great and replaces all instances of the default contact manager.

Does it also replace the default contact list when you send SMS and try to add recipients? Thanks for checking in advance.

This is in the Windows Mobile registry. You need to get a registry editor to change it.
