Hi Dean, Thank you for taking the trouble to respond to my query. The Tab memo sounds good to me. I have got the idea now and will check out further other such products as that to see what may meet my requirements. It is just a top up facility of telephone numbers and such that I require. Something like a temporary logging of numbers and messages. Have my mobile phone contacts which is know prob! Great for your info.
