Extreme Agenda: Feature Request: Contact Sharing Via e-mail

[SMMinke]

Searched for a comment on this and found none in the various Extreme Agenda threads.

Often, I find myself needing to quickly send a contact via e-mail to someone else. I just the other day ran into a client who needed some of my contact info but he had no infared capability and I didn't have the patience to teach him how to do it via Bluetooth while running to my next appointment.

This made me think-- wouldn't it be nice if I could select a contact and specify to "Send via e-mail" rather than via IR, BT, etc. I cannot speak as to to possibility of incorporating this feature into XA as it may be limited by the Q's native software.

Anyhow-- it would be GREAT if, failing the ability to send the contact intact as an Outlook contact-- you could specify to e-mail all of the contact's data fields in just plain text or CSV. The overall goal would be that the receiver could take a quick look at the data and act on it-- rather than being tied to actually having to enter it into his/her contact list. Often, I'm just gonna' call/e-mail someone once and don't need them in my contact list. Obviously-- you could even expand this to allow people to "Send Contact via Text Message" as well.

Extra Credit: Cannot tell you how many times I've been talking to one contact who then asks me for contact info on another. I put them on hold and look up the other contact , then read the info to them. Problem being that most of the time-- they also are on their cell phone and have a hard time getting all of the info. So it would be nice to be able to text/e-mail the info to their phone/computer while still on the line with them. It would be EVER so nice to be able to specify to send a particular FIELD (i.e. home phone number) via e-mail/text without having to send the whole contact. I could even envision being presented with a checkbox-style list of the contact's fields and being able to specify which fields were sent. Big task I'm sure-- but you never get if you never ask! Thanks again for such a great product and the great response here in the forums!

Anyhow, just thinking out loud here. If anyone knows of a good way to accomplish what I'm trying to do here-- please berate me accordingly and reveal what I should be doing!

Interesting.. We have and are considering solutions for what you are suggesting but will not go into any more detail at this time as to any release or what we may or may not do...

Thanks!!
