Agreed (even though I have no 2 entries that match exactly on FirstName+LastName).
I am not sure what unique key could be used other than FirstName+LastName. It has to be something that is commonly used in all the protocols. I am not sure people use the same email address for msn as yahoo as ICQ as FB chat. Thats why I suggested FirstName+LastName. More matches (at east on my contacts list) that way.

I agree with the manual merge. I have merged quite a few Outlook and IM contacts only to have multiple occurrences of the same item such as a mobile number - one with the international code at the front (from Skype) and one without (from Outlook). It is frustrating as I get a huge list of potential numbers to call/SMS/Skype whenever I open a contact window and in many cases they are the same numbers.

I just added facebook chat using jabber http://thenokiablog.com/2010/02/10/h...ut-of-the-box/
and this doubled my about 900 contacts. All doubles have the same lastname firstname format!
A merge by name is a must feature!!! Aaargh!

I don't think auto merge on name is worth it. And it's dangerous.
I have 3 different persons with the same name. And two of them are co-workers. (A middle name field would also be nice for this one, but that's a different story).
I don't mind the manual merge, as long as I only have to do it once!
But somehow the facebook plugin keeps un-merging random contacts.
Also the auto add contact when you send an email for a new email address is quite annoying.
