I am neither taking it the wrong way nor offended.  I was just curious about the good features of other programs, which, if they make sense, could be added to BitPim.

Not sure how DP does it, but in BitPim, you can export your phonebook into CSV files (and subsequently import them back in).

In BitPim, you can readily do that by using the Historical Data feature.  Roger designed & built that capability into the database schema when he ported the BitPim DB to SQLite.  The Historical Data GUI is currently available only to Phonebook/contacts, but can be easily implemented to other areas such as calendar events, SMS, etc.

>I did not see any way to save or open a new phonebook within BitPim

Not directly.  One work-around is to delete all existing contacts and import them from a CSV file previously exported.

I understand your need to possibly maintain one phonebook that can support multiple phones.  It might be something worth looking into.
