You'd think that 95% of everyone's contacts would have the first 10 fields identical - you could take a survey and decide an ordering of WORK/HOME address, phone, email and cell phone. Then you could vary from there. Astrological sign, whatever. It seems bizarre to me, with Americans spending two hours a day on average dealing with email, that there is not more of a standard happening here. It is in everyone's best interest that the customer's data is not hostage to a proprietary system that crashes. Maybe Paul and Microsoft should call a conference, let everyone talk, and SET THE STANDARDS for at least the first 10 fields.
