With Resco's Contact Manager

Apr 29, 2009 16:01 GMT  ·  By

More like a launcher application, Resco's Contact Manager is a fully touch-optimized program that promises users a rich environment that will help them manage their contacts, calls and text messages. The Contact Manager enables easy navigation and quick search using letter navigation, as well as the ability to view text message conversations in a chat-like view.

The most important trait of an application, control, is very well handled by Contact Manager. Fully touch-optimized with large enough buttons and excellent touch scrolling and letter navigation, the application's control is very easy. Furthermore, users will be able to control the app with just one finger. Still, those who are not that familiar with touch control can benefit from the fully functional and easy to use Keypad. One key on the Keypad is reserved as a hot key, and when pushed it allows users to send an SMS to a predefined recipient or to make a call to a friend.

Resco's Contact Manager doesn't lack a Favorites category, where users will be able to add their best friends or those whom they call on a regular basis. The Today plugin greatly simplifies the cell phone use. You get quick access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Clock, Alarms, Calendar, Contacts, Messages (Email or SMS). The latest version of the application (1.11) has been improved and offers now the possibility to locate a contact's address on the Google Map, tactile feedback when using the keypad, searching contacts by company name, as well as sending of Vcards.
Other features of the application include assigning photo to a contact, SMS and Contacts export, Call statistics, SMS Chat and Call History and Send contact. This seems to be one of the few contact managers that truly offer an easy-to-use interface, quick search and access to various info related to your phonebook or message inbox. Resco Contact Manager can be acquired for 24.95USD and you also get 1 year of free upgrades. Also, a full featured 7-day trial version is also available.
