动态通讯录

Explanation:
下面两个网页介绍的是同一种产品。前者直接使用英文，后者译为“动态通讯录”。我觉得这个译法可以接受。

抱歉，网页的顺序弄错了。应该是前者译为“增强型动态通讯录”，后者直接使用英文。“增强型”三字似可省略。

(left in English on Chinese web sites until now)

Explanation:
I can't tell you how to say it in Chinese, but I don't think the above is what the English means, based on this:

另外加入「Presence-enhanced Contacts」功能，在电话簿的名单会好似ICQ般有状态显示，亦可直接传送短讯，但要对方手机支持方可，6220也支持WAP 2.0及xhtml。

It doesn't sound merely like having a better photo of the person, or something like that, as is the idea I get from the above.
So far it seems to be left in English in quotation marks on the Chinese web sites I've found, whether in HK, TW or the PRC. I'm not saying we shouldn't come up with a good translation for it, however.
