I may be an old dinosaur, but it would be nice to be able to handle a vCard attachment to an e-mail. Specifically, I’d like to be able to download it and then add it to my Contacts on the Pre. Below is the sort of e-mail I am talking about.

Currently, though when you download the vCard attachment, you can’t open it because no suitable application is found.

If vCards are really out and no one uses them anymore, I’d like an alternative to add/update contacts from an e-mail message.

To further enhance the Pre’s integration with Microsoft Exchange, I suggest they add meeting update e-mails. Here is how this feature should work on the Pre:

1. User opens a meeting with 2 or more participants on their Pre.
   
2. User changes the time of the meeting
   
3. User back gestures because they are done with the changes
4. User is prompted to send out an update e-mail to meeting participants
5. Pre sends out (or has the Exchange server send out) a meeting update with the new time.

This would be very similar to how the meeting invite / update feature works in Outlook today.
