And if so, what tools or workflow > do you recommend? The only reason I don't use BBDB is I want to use Org to allow me to maintain notes about contacts (ie: CRM). Yes, I get that I could have a CRM file and link in BBDB contacts, but that feels like adding layers. The stumbling point for me has been exporting to my mobile phone. I'm fine with a one way sync from my BBDB/Org solution to the phone, but I feel like I never found a good option.
