The mobile address book is the feature on the phone that we use most often and is where most people store the contact information of the most important people in their lives – family, friends and close business colleagues. Yet, there has been no innovation around the mobile address book in over a decade. In fact, let’s be honest, whilst we’ve been able to interact with friends on the internet in ever more innovative ways, the mobile phone address book has remained a pretty dull and static experience. We want to change this.

Our developers have therefore been working hard on a new service that will transform our experience of our mobile phone address book - into a live and interactive experience of your contacts. The new service is called the ZYB Phonebook and we’re really excited about being able to share it with you in Q2 2008.

The ZYB Phonebook will, for example, enable you to:

  • see the live physical location of your friends – if they want to share it with you!
  • see their availability for a call including the time zone they are in if it’s a different time zone to yours – so you don’t wake them up in New York
  • share your calendar with people – if you’re maybe working together at a conference for a week
  • receive their online activity streams from services like Facebook and Twitter – getting the latest status of your closest friends whilst you’re away from your computer
  • see the photos they have just posted on photo sharing sites like Flickr
  • and of course, for the nearly quarter of a million of you who are already using ZYB, continue to receive auto-updates of your friends’ contact details as well as an online back up on zyb.com of all of the contacts, calendar events, photos and text messages on your mobile – so if you lose or change your mobile, you haven’t lost your most valuable data


The ZYB Phonebook will be available for download from ZYB for FREE.

Initially, it will work on most Nokia and Sony Ericsson phone but we will be rolling out new versions of the ZYB Phonebook from Q2 onwards to eventually enable all mobile phones to use it.

If you want to be one of the first to experience the ZYB Phonebook then please leave us your email address and we will tell you as soon as soon it’s available.
