>From a developer standpoint, that's fine... But, from a user standpoint who expects a Contacts application to have all of his/her Contacts, that is another story. I understand that there are agreements that need to be adhered to and that isn't going to change, but I'm sure you can understand how this affects both the developer and the user in a negative way. For the developer, one must figure out how to explain to the user that their Contacts (in MOTOBLUR) are not accessible and that is because of Motorola's contractual agreements. For the user, one must deal with the frustration of an app not working as they think it should. And I can tell you, as a user I would expect anything that shows in the Contacts application to be considered a Contact, and therefore be available to other Contacts applications.
It just adds a new level of complexity that most developers were ill- prepared for. Even the Motorola provided SDK Add-on for MB200 does not portray this behavior (for obvious reasons) for the Contacts API.
