DreamSpring recently announced their Dream Connect
application for Symbian-powered handsets.
Having solid roots in the Symbian UIQ platform and it’s predecessor Psion, Dream Connect is an application that works seamlessly with the built in Contacts application on handsets running Symbian.
Being an advanced contact manager, it’s given that search for contacts when typing from the standby like on the E75 and E71, import and export of contacts to vcards, various options for sorting and showing your contacts are in place.
What’s great about this application is that it uses the same contacts database as the built in “contacts” application which results in non-duplicates of your contact files.
A trial is available to download from Dream Spring and the application is available for all S60 handsets with a purchase price of €20.
How do you manage your contacts and does it produce duplicates?
















brrr, calling this an advanced contacts manager is pretty exaggerated. What it does is simply putting the whole contact information on one screen, lovelessly one after the other. No lines, no gaps, no descriptions, just some small icons.
The Nokia contacts application sure is not the best, but imho it’s still better than this.
@daClaus I agree with you on this one. I tested it for 5 secs on my 5800xm and found the UI fugly and the overall added value none. I was excited about this app and was immensely let down by the result it turned. I wonder who will shell 20$ for such a crappy experience.
I used to use this on my Sony-Ericsson P990i (now we’re going back a while!). At the time, I thought how ugly the UI was.
I am amazed that Dream Spring haven’t done anything to improve the look and feel of this thing. It seems like it’s taken them ages to port the UIQ version to S60. What have they been doing all this time? I was really hoping to see something new and slick but it looks like the same old ugly design… What a shame.

Sorry about that I just posted the news and didn’t try the application myself.
I did beleive that you could edit the different items from the application.
That is it shows all information on one screen as mentioned and then when you select edit you’ll then be able to browse to the field you want to edit.
