Evernote is not be the perfect solution in it's space. Many users complain that it crashes often and/or won't even open up for them. Their Optimal Character Recognition (the founders expertise in) is amazing but slows down their program. Could be a case for less being more for users that just want to take text and picture notes and then sync them.

There's an app called PhoneView that lets you access saved notes, call logs, SMS messages, photos, contacts, etc.

Evernote is bloated and the desktop versions are ugly and over complex. After test various note taking apps, Simplenote (http://www.simplenoteapp.com/) is my app of choice: clean ui and web sync. A nice review can be found here:

Your experience has been entirely different than mine. I've never had any problems with Evernote in two years. Granted, I'm running it on a Mac, maybe that makes the difference. Evernote on the desktop and iPhone make a for a powerful combination.

Evernote also deserves major kudos for frequently updating the app and each one makes it even better.

I've never had EverNote on iPhone work, ever. I spent a week trying to get it to recognise text in various labels on different items, one of its touted capabilities, with a zero percent success rate. I uninstalled it shortly afterward.
