Better Contact/People app? Suggestions wanted

[Casey Cheung]

I have a problem I can't figure out with the built in People app. I like to add lots of lines of text within Notes for each contact person. The problem is that when I want to edit the Note to add more lines of text, I only see 2 narrow lines of text at a time, which is a pain if I want to add a line of text say half way down the Note window. The only way to do this is to press the down arrow key to get to exactly the spot I want to add another line of text. I wish I could just tap my finger to exactly the point within the screen that I want to add text, which is what I'm used to doing with my previous Palm Pre smartphone. Even worse, the down/up left/right arrow keys can only be found within the built in Thunderbolt keyboard, which I don't like. When I'm using an alternate keyboard such as Better Keyboard 8, there is no up/down arrow keys, which means it's nearly impossible to scroll down to exactly the point where I want to add more lines of text within a Note entry. I hope all this makes sense. Is there maybe another alternate, better Contact/People app that can do what I want? I checked the Market app, and had a hard time finding alternate apps to replace the People app. Thanks, Casey

Best thing to do is to edit notes via your Google account, if that's a possible option.

Not sure of any 'better' apps to edit contact data on the phone, but if you want to view the notes in 'all their glory' then this app is better than People -> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.softwyer.contactview&feature=search_result

You do need to use it with Contact Lookup though, you can get the free one here -> Curly: Contack Lookup Free
