I am aware, as many are, that there are wide spread reports all over the internet of contacts disappearing problems on the IPhone in 4.x. I do not know in exactly what situations it happens, but in my opinion it is completely unaceptable that they are going to make something that claims to be a damn cell phone and there are reliability issues with the contacts even dstaying on the damn thing! This is just what I think is a justified frustration with this product not measuring up to acceptable standards in an area where it clearly should. In any case, I have come to the conclusion that a way around part of the problem of the lack of reliability, and only part of the problem but at least a big part, is to use a program like IDrive lite or contact tools to backup your contacts from the phone once you have them the way you want them and these programs allow a way of restoring selected contacts or the entire database. Contact tools keeps the backup on the phone internally in its own file in your choice of formats, a couple of which are able to be used for a restore and IDrive lite backs them up to their server on the internet and can be accessed through a web browser from anywhere. The parts that definitely can not solve is the inconvenience and the issue of when some disappear and you get an incoming call from one that has disappeared at that time and the phone will not recognize who that is and will give you a number instead I presume on the caller ID that hopefully you will recognize at that time. An unreliable contacts manager in something that has any damn business calling itself a phone is something that is just absolutely unacceptable in my opinion for sure though. Maybe 4.2 will fix it, but I doubt that more than I would assume it would. I love what the IPhone afords us in accessibility, but I can't stand what I perceive as Apple's attitude towards quality assurance in their products. They get by on people's inflated illusions in that area. Yes that is my opinion. Yes some will disagree. Can they back up their position? I don't know.
