Contacts per megabyte?

I get this question a lot from clients yet I'm never really sure how to
answer them It seems like a fairly straightforward-enough question....how
many contacts can I fit on my Windows Mobile device? But I have no clue how
to estimate how many contacts can fit on their device.

So this begs the question..._approximately_ how many contacts can one
reasonably expect to fit in one MB of space on the device?

And where does the contacts file reside on the device (so I can monitor its
size)?

Cheers,

Hi,
You can store approximately 16,000. However the largest amount I have
personally heard used with Windows Mobile is 11,000. Keep in mind that with
larger and larger numbers of contacts will require a faster CPU in order to
perform efficiently when searching these contacts.
