Version 2.6 of Contacts Cleaner is now available at BlackBerry App World, Mobihand, iTunes, and Verizon VCAST App Stores.
Version 2.6 features full support for the BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry OS 6.
Contacts Cleaner features lights-out processing of your address book. We have many users who have used Contacts Cleaner to fix address books with 5,000 or 10,000 contacts and four copies of each contact.
We use one-pass processing without prompting you on how to merge the duplicates. If you have only a few duplicates which you want to merge in a very specific way (you choose which phone numbers to keep), then the best solution is to manually clean up your address book.
On the other hand, if your address book gets totally messed up by a synchronization gone bad and you now have 5 copies of each and every contact, then Contacts Cleaner is a perfect solution for you.
Contact Cleaner does not stop and ask you what to do with each contact. The App finds duplicates by matching on contact name and then does the right thing to merge all of the duplicates down to one contact.
We have had many users suggest that we stop and ask how to handle each duplicate. That will not work for address books with 5,000 contacts. Few people will want to stop and consider each of several thousand contacts.
Our goal for Contacts Cleaner is to do pretty good job without bothering you about how to get the job done. We want to make your life a little better by quickly and efficiently reducing the chaos in your address book.
