You have to earn your way into my Address Book on my phone by getting drunk with me or being related by blood (seriously, no exceptions - same as with Facebook).
You might see your life enriched a whole lot IF you just removed that law of yours. I would go a step further and say, dedicate an afternoon a month just to go through your cell phone contacts and say hell to everyone you don't remember speaking to recently.
No man is an island, unless he is surrounded by the vomit of his drinking buddies and cousins ;-)

Yes, contacts are added to the iPhone's address book. Future versions of Bump will let you easily add a note after receiving a contact and show you the location of where you met someone.

Business card hate is way overblown; there's a nice natural segregation and there's enough room to write notes for follow-ups. I mean, business cards are a solution to the problem of exchanging information amongst casual acquaintences; they're not a problem themselves. I think this is where "business card replacements" (and we've had them since the Palm Pilot days) fail.
