Idea: up-to-date business card

[Matthew S. Hamrick]

Yes... if you have a Blackberry, Treo or HTC phone, run Windows and  
don't mind keeping your data on Plaxo's servers, Plaxo is indeed a  
good solution.

Still... I'm fairly certain that most GSM phones can't make the data  
call to the Plaxo servers _while_ they are on a voice call with  
someone else.

The "vCard bursting" concept moves data directly from one phone to  
another without third party involvement. And it does is as part of  
the "session" created when you're talking with someone else. i.e. -  
you don't have to hang up the phone to receive burst vCards.
