Such as birthdays and profile pictures. Do they work well? Which is the best?

I used Myphone+ and it works really well for pictures, birthdays and address details. Really quick to sync and manually match any anomalies. Only downside is it costs £1.89 I think.

Use fex as well. Seems to work well enough although it doesn't allow you to update pics individually. Say you have a pic of someone and you like it, but want to update others. It only allows you to update all pics so you might lose the one you prefer. Not a major problem, but something I'd like a choice in.

Also if you combine it with Cyntact from Cydia it then displays said pics next to your contacts in the phone book
