- Search doesn't match for any field other than contact name
- Does not allow deleting of more than 20 contacts at a time
- Import is more finicky - csv files which work with old version don't work with new version!
Mostly work related stuff which I would've entered into my "Log book". Instead of hosting it on an intranet site, outsourcing the hosting to blogger!

wonder why gmail contacts regressed
Generally Google products improve over time, but for some reason, the contacts browser in Gmail seems to have regressed very badly. So many features broken in the new version whose only advantage seems to be eye-candy:

I doubt, it allows deleting only 20contacts at one time...about contacts .csv, Yes, it does work out if entered in the same format...as you mentioned in your second post...
ReplyDeleteThere was problem with the export from Google Apps domain. It was not in a correct format. I had to take the export from normal gmail and have a look at its format. Change format of AppsContacts.csv to GmailContacts.csv and then it got imported correctly into my Gmail.
One thing, I thought Google should have done (as it is known to use a lot of creativity and brain to improve end-users experience with their products)...when they integrated GTalk with Orkut, they imported only the mail id of that individual along with the display name. They should even picked up the fields which are to be currently entered manually. Some fields like: Mobile No, Address, etc.
