Phonebook Access API
Using the Phonebook Access API, an application will be able to locate and update contact
information on the handset. This contact information includes phone numbers, email
addresses, and any other directory information related to individuals, groups, or
organizations. The database used to store phonebook information will be unique and
integrated for native phonebook, SIM card, and other applications using Phonebook API.
The primary goal of the Phonebook Access API is to be simple and thin to fit in resource-
limited devices like the Motorola E680 handset. This API will specify a base storage class
for all types of contacts items presented in the vCard specification (RFC2426 –vCard
MIME Directory Profile – vCard 3.0 Specification). In addition, schema strings used in
querying and storing contact information are those specified in the RFC2426 specification.
The Phonebook Access API will perform the following functions:
