How many contacts can I store on an iphone?

I have over 12,000 contacts on my computer and was able to load them on my BlackBerry no problem.  Just tried using a Samsung Nexus and that platform maxes out around 4,000 contacts.  I'd consider gettting an iPhone but would hate to run into the same issue.  Any ideas?
Many thanks!

Quoted from Just J, 2/29/2008, 16GB iPhone:
"I am running iTunes 7.6.1.9 and iPhone 1.1.4. I have over 12,000 contacts loaded with no problems."
As provided, the limiting factor is the size of your phone.

  • How many contacts can the iPhone hold....now?

    This question was asked back in 2008 and has been archived, however I'd like to revisit this issue.
    What I'd like to know, is this:
    How many contacts can the iPhone hold before it effects performance?
    I have a iPhone user with an MS Exchange email account on the phone, Calendar and Contact sync is turned on. The problem is, the user has 10,000 contacts.
    The contacts synchronized to the iphone, however, when writing emails or doing any task that accesses the contacts database (i.e. auto-completion of names), There is a good 35 to 40 second lag before you can enter the second letter of a name on the keyboard. I can only assume that this is due to the pure insanity of having 10,000 contacts on a mobile device... The search takes too long. Although it did work just fine on the blackberry (a lessor device ).
    Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how many contacts one can successfully store on an iPhone without running into the "lag" issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the overall size of all these songs?
    This will determine how many songs the iPhone can hold.
    The actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone is around 7.3 GB - OS X alone takes up approximately 500MB.
    You should leave some free space available on the iPhone for general operating purposes and if you access any email accounts and for Safari cache purposes, etc.
    So you have around 7GB available - as long as the overall size of all 9400 songs isn't greater than 7GB or so, you are covered.

    I have no idea what that means or how it is related to the question about how many notes you can store in the Notes application. If your question is not related to the OP's question, it's both more polite and more effective to start your own thread with a properly descriptive subject line. If English is not your native language, you might do better posting in your native language. If that's not an option, please try to write your post in complete sentences with punctuation. Give as much detail as you can, including what you're trying to do, what happens when you try, what error messages your getting and what troubleshooting steps you've already taken.
    Best of luck.

    You need to create a new Boolean pref via the right-click context menu (New > Integer) on the about:config page like I wrote above because that pref doesn't exist by default.
    See the http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config article for details.

  • How many accounts can I store at best in one People Container?

    Hello, everyone!
    I want to use the Sun Directory Server as the data store of OpenSSO, So, the questions are as follows:
    1. How many accounts can I store at best in one People Container?
    2. If I store 100,000 accounts in one People Container, would the efficiency of Authentication be reduced? How about 1,000,000 accounts?
    Best wishes,
    Shen

    i currently have 15,000,000 in one of my ldap instances, multimaster, multi slave including fractionally replicated slaves. No problems what so ever. Large schema in place too, each entry has multiple objectclasses and multiple attributes in each.
    Just make sure your i/o is upto handling all the additional mods coming into such large databases.
    forget T series boxes for that sort of scale as they are pants! Big X series boxes as a minimum, sparc is better. Most importantly, tune your entry and database cache sizes to reduce any i/o to an absolute minimum.

  • How many computers can I store my iTunes library on?

    I vaguely recall reading somewhere that I can put my iTunes library on up to five different computers. Since I first created my library, I've had to change laptops a few times (changed companies, laptop stolen, etc).
    Can I keep downloading iTunes software to my new laptop, and transfering my songs into the libary (backed up on external hard drive)? Or will I run into a limit?
    I only need one, perhaps two, laptops to actively use the library. So if there's a limit on how many active laptops you can have, I'm not sure how to make an old laptop unactive.
    Thanks.

    You can put the music on as many computers as you want. However, you can only use it on 5 "active" computers max at one time.
    You cannot individually unauthorize computers you no longer have.

  • Hello, how many contacts can have a picture assigned to it.

    Hello,
    If I have over 3000 contacts, can they all of a picture assign to them?
    Thank you,
    jdelsol

    I think the limit is your phone's storage capacity. Once it says you don't have enough storage space left, I think that's your limit. But I would guess that all 3,000 SHOULD be able to if you limit your storage space usage for other things (songs, videos, apps, etc.)

  • How much data can you store on 32G iPhone?

    How many movies, tunes, etc. can be stored on a 32G Iphone?

    I have a 16 GB iPhone. Currently it shows 13.73 GB capacity
    Audio 4.6 GB
    Photos 3.6 GB
    Apps 0.81 GB
    Books 0.04 GB
    Other 1.34 GB

    The Audio is made up of 933 items. In my case most of those are classical pieces which tend to be long then other types of music. Hence the reason I hedged my answer on my first reply.

  • How many contacts can you send a text to?

    I cannot send a text to more than 10 contacts. How can I bypass this?

    Send multiple text messages. If you really want mass group texting and to greatly irritate everyone, use Facebook Messenger.

  • How many contacts can I text at a time using text messaging?

    Before the upgrade to ios5 I could send 1 text message that included 20 contacts, now I can't seem to do more than 10 at a time.  I coach a youth baseball team and it is very convenient to send one text to parents about practice/games.  Now I have to send this message twice to get everyone.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
