As a relatively long time Act! user, I can't recommend it to anyone. Since 
Symantec sold Act! to Interact Corporation a couple of years ago there hasn't 
been a single feature added. In fact, with each patch it gets buggier and 
buggier. Its now crashing several times a day for me, but their export 
features are so limited, there's no way to get the data I need out of it. At 
this point I'm planning on hiring a temp to type in all of the information by 
hand to its replacement.

Interact Corp seems to be putting all of the resources into their "enterprise" 
contact manager, which is several times more expensive than Act!.

The only alternatives I'm aware of are Goldmine, which also doesn't work well 
with Palm. There's an open source contact manager, www.relata.org, but it 
doesn't sync with the Palm.
