Overview:

Phone Assistant enables you to quickly add new contacts & merge with existing contacts on the go once the call ends and in case you have missed this initial dialogue or in a hurry now you can even add or merge contacts later simply by choosing a new menu option available from the call log in the phone application. Once the conversation is ended, you will be prompted to add contacts only if the phone number does not exist in the address book - most common feature found in Windows Mobile devices for example but missing for BlackBerry devices. In addition, Phone Assistant will also enable you to quickly merge the new number with your existing contacts by allowing you to choose from your address book right from the alert. The existing functionality in the BlackBerry devices to add new phone number to the address book from the call log in the Phone application only adds to the default "Work" category and in case you want to change the category, the only way to go about it is to copy/paste. Phone Assistant will enable you choose any desired category (Work, Home, Mobile, Pager, other etc) and also allows you to add/merge new phone numbers as new or existing contacts in a quick and efficient way immediately without having to remember to add your important contacts later. Also you now have the ability to add or merge contacts even later in case you have missed the opportunity to add your important contact, simply by choosing a new menu option available from the call log in the Phone application.NOTE:Once the trial ends, you don't have to re-install the FULL version again.
