Introducing a minor but useful feature for BlackBerry devices for adding contacts on the fly. Phone Assistant automatically prompts to add Contacts on the go quickly and choose your desired category (Work, Phone, Mobile) right from the Phone application as soon as the call is ended.

Phone Assistant will prompt you to add the contact only for new contacts if it does not exist in the address book - most common feature found in Windows Mobile devices for example but missing for BlackBerry devices.

Also the existing functionality in the BlackBerry devices to add phone number to the address book only adds to the default "Work" category and in case you want to change that, the only way to go about it is to copy/paste. Phone Assistant will enable you to add the contacts in a quick and efficient way immediately without having to remember to add your important contacts later.

I would appreciate your feedback if you decide to try out the free trial which will allow you to add up to 3 new contacts. Please let me know if this feature is something you find it useful and any additional features that you think might be missing for this application.


Important Note:
If you decide to buy the full version, then please make sure you uninstall the Trial version first.
