Birthday Contacts

[stobbsc]

HI all,

I may have asked this before...
Is there an app out there, that will allow me to store my Contacts Birthdays in the contacts section of my phone, but at the same time, it will remind me the day that contact has a b-day?

Thanks
Chris

Best Birthday may be what you want Best Birthday for S60 3rd edition by SmartphoneWare

I actually use SBSH's Papyrus application solely for this. Papyrus is a full fledged calendar application but I only use one feature of it which scans your phone book for birthdays, and creates a recurring calendar entry for each one with an alarm if necessary all in one shot.

I also use Facebook for the S60's. It syncs your contacts image DOB and any address email and auto matches it to your phone names

HI IJM, I can't find this Facebook for S60 app, do you have a link for me?

I use Papyrus, its the best among the lot. You can also use Handy calender v2 which now read birthdays from the Contacts.

I have the installation file at home I'll post it either tonight or tomorrow when I am back at home.

Found the latest version here.

Fonebook | Facebook

Fonebook is used to transfer contacts photos and infomation from Facebook™ to Outlook®. If your phone then supports Outlook® synchronization you should be able to have your contacts photos on your phone when they call you!

This application works with both Outlook® 2003 and 2007. It is also know to work with most modern Nokias and all Windows® Smartphones/PDAs.

The application currently copies a contacts photo, profile web address, about me details, status details and if you are using Outlook® 2007 their birthday.

It also states :

[Fonebook does not, and will never export phone numbers or email addresses - Facebook does not allow this!!]

BUT, I think this only is when users have chosen NOT to display their E-Mail address on their profiles. Or it may have only been added. As when I used it frist a while ago, it did add some E-mails. And Status updates in the "Notes" Section.


I also just found the original thread from 09-02-2008.

WOW thanks
This looks like just what I need, I like the fact that you don't have to synch with all contacts just those you want :-)
