Sorry, wrong keys pressed .. I continue:

   then:
   - in case the entries are identical, merge silently
   - in case there are different details: show all details (with field name)
     and (pre-chosen) radiobuttons to chose, which entries are to be merged.
     (may be, the text field should be editable for manually changes)
     grafically, either the "or"-set of different entries should displayed
     or the two or more verstions side by side (with repeated details grey..) 

Second, more complex:
   - search the whole corpus for possible duplicates (narrow or wide searches
     possible)
   - for each possible duplicate/set of similar entries show both/all entries
     for the first decision to be done by the user, if they belong to the same
     person (contact) i.e. they should be merged
   - for all contacts to be merged proceed like in the "simple" case.

Thanks to all working on addressbook / PIM  ! :-)
