Gwabbit has been busy, and they have assured us and thanked us for feedback which they are listening to and reading. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Gwabbit, it is a life and time saver literally. If you get quite a bit of business emails, it’s like a virtual secretary that is ready to add the contact from your email to your contact book, with your permission of course.
The app is fast and convenient. Bugs Bunny wasn’t this fast, trust me. I’ve used it and reviewed it and find it absolutely amazing. And the best part? You can find it in the BlackBerry Sync Store for $9.99 a yearly subscription. You have to love that! Of the improvements made, here are the improved features:
The engine now correctly handles the text added by anti-virus programs such as AVG
The Improve Results feature (gwabbit for Outlook) is greatly improved, now recognizing a much higher percentage of contact blocks
Better recognition of non-US phone numbers and non-US addresses
Better recognition and parsing of HTML emails, taking into account the formatting of the signature block, including stylized text
Improved handling for new varieties of signature structures, based on the feedback submitted
Better separation of the “thread†(older email in the same conversation) so as to more accurately identify contact information of the sender. This improvement is especially noticeable in gwabbit for BlackBerry
Overall improved recognition

And for those who aren’t familiar, let me recap the great features of Gwabbit to begin with. Â Features include:
gwabbit for Outlook also available
gwabbit automatically scans emails for signature contacts and alerts user when it finds a contact
No tedious manual contact “painting” required
The gwabbit alert prompts the user to import the contact with one click, or click “No Thanks” to ignore the contact
gwabbit compares contacts with address book entries — only displays contact alert when a new contact is found or if contact information has changed
Option to turn off automatic email scan/alert and instead capture contacts with the “gwabbit” menu option
gwabbit for BlackBerry Enterprise Server coming soon!
