    Alternative to contacts app

    I have a rooted android 2.3.4 phone. The phone app (and linked contacts app) are perfectly fine but I am not comfortable having my entire contact list on my Google account. Are there alternative phone and contact apps I could use that are not connected with my Google account? Thanks
