For the hectic BlackBerry user consistently using thier contacts, Sensobi is an excellent free address book app for professionals who need to stay on top of important contacts they have.  Sensobi acts as your personal secretary as it reminds you who you need to speak with immediately and who your lost ones are which will fall off your radar soon enough.  The coolest feature is that before making the phone call, you can see what the last conversation spoken with the person was all about.  It is not necessarily for people with a bad memory (although it is useful that way) but mainly for the all around busy person who could use a virtual assistant to help out.
