I've just fully appreciated today how the Evernote + Lifehacker's Texter combination makes for a killer, streamlined contact manager. Create an Evernote "Contacts" notebook. Create a Texter text replacement shortcut (or "hotstring" as the app calls it) that sets up the "fields" you'll want to add info on for each contact. I used Contact, Company, Title, Email, URL, Address, City, State, Zip, and Notes. 

Then, each note is a separate contact. Add tags to each contact that define where you know the person from and for other context. Start adding your contacts. Attach files to those contacts. Attach pictures. Very cool stuff here. 

And considering the free version of Evernote allows to upload 40mb of data, you shouldn't really run into space issues running a contacts Evernote database by itself. 

Voila. More to come on this as I explore...
