Found This App On XDA-Developers..And Loaded It to my Treo And Loved It..Although it Needs A Add Contact Option But Love it-- Works Perfect With Any Black Theme...Jst Scroll Down Click On Link And Download iContact_v0.4.zip ...

Here Is The Info --

Thanks to (larna) Over @ XDA-Developers.com!

Hello,
I wrote a simple contacts list app for WM5 but i've tested it on HTC Wizard only. If anyone is willing to test the app on their device I'd be very thankfull.

The app is very basic, it only lists contacts in scrollable list. I use it for accessing my contacts by scrolling the list with fingers, similar to *Phone. Just tap, drag and release. To select a contact, just tap and release, and standard contact details dialog should appear.

Exe is in the attached zip file.

UPDATE v0.4, 09.11.2007.
This version should fix a bug or two, but may introduce some as well. It should fix the most obvious bug with contact name length.
It also introduces a way to look into contact details. But is merely a test and isn't very usable at the moment. Tapping on the contact name will open standard pocket outlook contact details.

Have fun.

UPDATE v0.3, 08.09.2007.
Sorry to say that iContact didn't go very far, but still, i wanted to give you guys an up-to-date version (if anyone is still interested )

There are few changes and they're all very obvious, so, have fun.

UPDATE

- 05.05.2007.

v0.2
App is now known as"iContact".Main changes would be landscape fix and (Oh, My, Oooh) WM2003 support.
As i don't have wm2003 device there are probably still some bugs, but at least it should start, show contacts and scroooooolllll...

The little indicator on the right side has some bugs, i know. But, as it doesn't affects the other app functionality I let it live.

Post your opinions. New features will be discussed when main part of the app works (almost) bug free.

Thx for all your comments. That motivates me the most.

Yeah, I use this over PocketCM for good reason. It loads in about a second or two and scrolls so smoothly. Until PocketCM can take less than 5 seconds to load and scrolls properly, Im sticking with iContact.

It's not bad... but still a little funky.

Fast though

Would like to see more phone numbers (no work listed?) and "mobile" not "gsm" for the mobile label would be nice.

Gotta say, works well enough - and tapping any name in the detail view gets you back to the old contacts

YIKES! Uses 5MB of ram... there's your problem.

Ah well, always a catch, isn't there. Removed

Man, i love the way iContact looks compared to pocketCM. except pocket CM has tons of other features. like, they let you look at all of them, favorites, people with sms, etc. and like, if you click on the persons name, it brings you to a different screen, where you can see their info, and see all of the text messages they have sent you ,and the ones youve sent them (like the iphone).

anyway, i would go with this iContact over the pocketCM if it could do the things that pocket CM does.. because there are some things i don't like w/ pocketCM (like the taking forever to load). but hey, its more like the iphone i think, and im tryin to make my phone like the iphone.
