Contact management software suggestions?

[Shera Gregory]

I haven't seen any recent posts on this topic. I am looking for a free or very low cost contact manager. I don't use outlook for my e-mail. I just want to be able to create a contact, assign a category (ie agent, contractor, wholeseller, etc), make some notes and add some follow-up dates. The primary point is not for tracking leads although it would be good to be able to grow into that. Should be interactive with mobile device so I can enter new contacts from phone or PC and have data available on both.

I checked out zoho.com. So far I don't see a good way to add the categories I want (see above).
