Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / November 2004K700i Addressbook capacity
Hi over there, just a short question: I read the other day that the K700i can store up to 500 entries in the internal address book. Ok, 500 seems to be enough - but the author of this article pointed out that _each_ detail of an entry (like private phone number, address, job phone, fax etc.) will occupy one of these 500 slots (i. e. if every entry has four numbers, you can store not more than 125 entries). Is this really correct?

Hi et alii, thus spoke fm <postmaster@127.0.0.1>: [...K700i just 125 addresses with 4 numbers each] >> Is this really correct? >> Greets, Dirk > Yes, it is. Then K700i is dead. :o/ Greets, Dirk - still feeling like being fooled. SignatureProgramming is like sex - one mistake and you'll spend a lifetime supporting it > [...K700i just 125 addresses with 4 numbers each] > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Then K700i is dead. :o/ So all of your contacts have 4 numbers each? You can save 500 numbers in your phone. If your contacts only have 1 number each, you can save 500 addresses. I have about 250 contacts in my phone. Some have 4 numbers, some have only 1. Believe me, there's plenty of space. And the 500-number-feature is the same since the R520. Greets, Juergen Hi Juergen et alii, thus spoke Juergen Harzl <j.harzl@inode.at>, citing me: >> [...K700i just 125 addresses with 4 numbers each] >>>>Is this really correct? >>>>Greets, Dirk >>>Yes, it is. >> Then K700i is dead. :o/ > So all of your contacts have 4 numbers each? This was just an example, to make clear what I mean. To be more precise: I have 279 entries with 412 phone + fax numbers, 121 addrs, 78 organisation names, 84 email addresses and 25 URLs. Makes 279 names with 720 attributes[1]. And - as I intend to live a few more years - I plan to contact even more people in the future. > You can save 500 numbers in your phone. If your contacts only > have 1 number each, you can save 500 addresses. Sorry, but for a so called business handy these 500 attributes are nothing else than laughable. > I have about 250 contacts in my phone. Some have 4 numbers, > some have only 1. Believe me, there's plenty of space. Hard to say, but I don't believe you. ;o) > And the 500-number-feature is the same since the R520. Bad enough. Especially if you take the 41 MB into account. There is absolutely no reason for such a stupid limit. Greets, Dirk ----- [1] many thanks to grep and wc ;o) SignatureI want to die peacefully in sleep like my granpa, not screaming in terror like his passengers Does the K700i sync the memo section from outlook contacts? Or only the phone number fields? Sean > Hi Juergen et alii, > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > ----- > [1] many thanks to grep and wc ;o) > Hi et alii, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Programming is like sex - > one mistake and you'll spend a lifetime supporting it If this is the case, with ~40MB of internal memory, it doesn't make sense to have fixed memory partitioning. The same should apply to the number of SMSs one can store. The situation is worse with DECT landline phones. I bought 3 Philips Onis handsets about 5 yrs ago - they have 40 number/name slots where most only had 20. I had a look recently & many models /still/ only have 20! The K700i should also not be liming the number of voice labels or the number of entries in the Accept Calls list etc. At least SE phones can store multiple numbers under one name unlike (most/all?) Motorola handsets. Regards |
