speed of Searching lots of contact lists

[gptaiwan]

I had post a question in other forum as below, and received an answer: the search speed of contact lists, if too many, is always an issue Can some one to help me regards it, Why and how long it will be to search contact lists, if more than 3-4 thousands?


I would like to buy a Nokia phone 6110 N in Taiwan. However, some reasons make me hesitated.

One is the compatibility of Nokia with my MS Outlook. I depend the Outlook software deeply when arranging my Calendar and handling my thousands contact lists. I am worried the compatibility of Nokia and MS Outlook on those functions.

The second is the searching speed of contact lists in Nokia phone, specially with thousands items. Because I heard if the number of contact lists was more than one thousand, its speed would be very slow. Was it right?

Can someone kindly give me an answer?

I suppose it supports MS Outlook. It should at least in the sync options. concerning thousands of contacts...well, honestly i think all phones would be slower when dealing with thousands (!!) of contacts...

ps: you must be a quite know person...:-)

I just wonder how slow it will be? Few seconds or few minutes?

The free Nokia mail for exchange program is not released for Nokia 6110 - you can however use an older version (1.3.1 - I think). With this you can synch. contacts and calender - and mail (but you can't read the mails! only the mail-header...)

Another possibility is Roadsynch - This program should work - but is not free.

or you can wait and hope Nokia relases mail for exchange. (the new wersion has a contact search function - with I expect could solve your problem.)
