But Plaxo 3 beta doesn't work. Plaxo used to actually sync my 2 computers. Now it holds a dbase for each one and neither sync on demand. Sometimes, though, Plaxo will sync on its own. Either way. My contacts base is now so screwed up that I am going to have to dump plaxo and manually sort through my 1900+ contacts. Was early on board with Plaxo.

The reality is, if I have my BB, then why would I need it stored all over the place when most BB users carry their BB all over the place? My BB and outlook is good enough for me. But that's just my opinion. ps - and if someone is going to say you can load your contacts from the web onto a new system, well, I can do the same when I install the BB client, or import my pst file. Keeping 3, 4, or 5 locations up to date and synced is just insane. Not a fan of Plaxo.

But there was a time where I would get 20-30 plaxo messages per week asking if someone's info was correct and if I wanted to join. just annoying. well that would be fine if more people turned it off like you do.

Plaxo is a very useful tool for syncing multiple contact databases. Plus you decide which of your contacts do or do not get "spammed". My contacts don't get Plaxo emails from me. I’m with Tom.

I use Plaxo to sync my contacts and calendar from my work computer with my home computer + use the calendar sync to 1)sync outlook with google calendar and 2) sync google calendar blackberry aplication with my blackberry. => all typed in outlook auto into my BB and vice verse. (Like a server without having one). Plus always have full addresses of my friends. Even pay for the pro service for the bday cards. Again, love it. I love plaxo.

I understand automating contacts but there has to be a better way. I hope Google can solve their many many flaws. I hate that company, i make sure that the spam filter catches all their auto emails.
