I second that!

Need thunderbird sync
Need calendar sync
Need gmail sync
Need total field mappings as well as field sizes sufficient to hold incoming sync data (e.g. notes)

I imported contacts from Outlook. The phone numbers were in (xxx) xxx-xxxx format. Every time I edit and save a contact I get an error message about the phone number format.

ERROR:
Your home telephone number is invalid, Only numbers are accepted.
Your personal cell phone number is not valid, Only numbers are accepted.
Your work cell phone number is not valid, Only numbers are accepted.

If the format is not acceptable then it should not import that way.

Dear Newbie,
Thank you for your comments. They allow us to improve our service every day…
- Regarding the 500 sync limit, good news, we just increased it to 1000 contacts!
- Regarding the sharing options, we made it this way to keep it simple, but what do you suggest? to personalize the access for each contact?
- Regarding the need to ask for access to public info, you are right, we are planning to change the way it is done, to simplify access to public info…
- Categories: you will soon have the possibility to add some, it’s too limited, we agree with you! Be patient
- We will take into account your other comments…

Thank you,
Karine, marketing dir.

dear unyk team,
please be patient as i’m a new user and trying to grab on the unyk ropes here… so here goes:

a) i think the 500 sync limit is quite lame. what about users with contacts many times the size?

b) why are there only 2 options only “access to confidential or not” it’s like all or nothing.

c) why do i need to ask for access when i’ve already invited the person? what’s set to public should be at least seen by each other already. it’s like you own your info but have terrible control over it

d) how does one add more categories? i sincerely think that business/friends/family/others is so narrow-sighted especially if you can’t even add custom categories

e) and while managing duplicates, how come unyk discovers the first field as the first name while dumbly suggests the succeeding fields as the “last name” (at the very least this should be the other way around except with suffixes). for example i add the contact “John Vincent ‘JV’ Karine Doe” where John Vincent is his first name, JV is his nickname, Karine his middle name, and Doe is his last name; Unyk recognizes John as the firstname while the rest becomes lastname? not nice

f) {in my opinion} you have to facelift your site, it’s not very appealing.

g) dedicate at least one coordinator in the community for updates, like say twitter or plurk, and especially getsatisfaction

Hi,

I am curious about the cost for the service of having the phone synchronised? I cannot find it on your website. Only that it is free the first 60 days.
Moreover will I be able to keep those contacts that are not registered to myself?

Gee, pedro, maybe it’s because you wouldn’t know _who_ updated your contacts’ information; you could never trust the contact information if there was no registration process.

–I’m not in any way associated with UNYK, Plaxo or Comcast.

why do my contacts have to sign up in order to update their info? that is a major draw back.

I found your app by googling “plaxo alternative.” Apparently there are not many people taking advantage of Plaxo’s disintegration as an address book platform.

From my experience there is a pent up demand for a “portable address” book that hasn’t been met yet. I only keep MS Outlook for the contact management.

If you can match Plaxo’s core address book functionality (including de-duping) combined with the new portable contacts api I think you could attract customers as well as investors quickly.

I certainly would like a central point to recommend to all my contacts.

Thanks
