Funambol – iPhone mobile sync client is free software that makes it easy to wirelessly migrate and sync contacts between your iPhone and older phones as well as webmail systems and email clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird. It provides a great way to back up your iPhone contacts and to keep your contacts in sync. Funambol doesn’t have the share feature.
