Birthday app as “today”-plugin

I am looking for an app that goes through my contacts (once a day or whenever) and lists today’s birthdays/anniversaries on the today screen (like calendar entries) or at least stores the birthdays in a separate table and displays the anniversaries within a specific number of days (i.e. Yesterday, today & tomorrow) whenever I start it. I had such a tool on Windows Moibile, but I need one on Symbian.
Best Birthday (the most common birthday app) goes through my contacts every time I start it (I’ve got 6000 contacts) and everytime I start it I have to change the sort criteria to “by day” and select “go to today”… so it takes me 5 mins to get to a view I need every day.

And: No. I don’t want to put my 6000 contacts birthdays in my calendar…

Does anyone know such an app?

  1. If you’ve got it in their contact information, when you sync to Outlook, it should add those birthdays to your calendar as separate events, and then you can just sync your phone. Least that worked for me.

    Though I also don’t think it’ll show them until the day of, but that’s as good as I’ve seen.

  2. You can try out Papyrus. I’ve just released version 1.2.11 and it supported importing birthdays from contacts since version 1.2.10 … You should give it a go:

  3. (Not a reply, but I have a calendar question and can’t find where to start a new thread - if anywhere.)
    I’ve set a note for Oct 1 2008, but since Oct 1 2007 it appears on the home screen. How can I get the E61 to understand the difference between 2007 & 2008?
