PLEASE NOTE: Fonebook will never be able to sync email address or phone numbers automatically as Facebook expressly forbids this.

Fonebook allows you to copy your friends photos (+ a load of other info!) onto your mobile via Microsoft Outlook. Its compatible with any version of phone just so long as you are connected to Outlook. Best of all it has the ability to keep the photos in sync - so you can always have your friends latest photos on your phone!


Latest Version: Setup Package or Click Once Install If you have issues then please try it using Internet Explorer

Please note when you start using Fonebook you will automatically start a 5 day trial of the pro version. After that the restrictions of the free version will kick in (this includes a small watermark on the downloaded images as well as reduced functionality. Please see here for a full list of differences). Please support Fonebook by going pro at the end of your trial.

This is the second release and it works for Outlook® 2010 (32 bit only!), 2007 and 2003. Please note you need to have .net 3 installed (Vista users have .net 3 installed by default, most XP users will probably have to download this)
If you use Outlook 2010 64 bit then you may still use the old version of Fonebook, but I'm affraid I will be unable to provide any support. You can get that version from here: Old Version
