Take meeting and class notes (meetings are probably among your calendar entries, so they could be connected).Share notes with friends and colleagues via Facebook and Twitter (again, your friends data is probably stored with your contacts).Email notes and save tweets to your Evernote account (Email taken from contacts).Some additional reasons, taken from the app description, could be: Personal Information: A possible reason for Contacts I just explained. Not using EverNote, I cannot say if it offers such a feature. lets you take "call notes" for an ongoing phone call, it might want to connect it with the contact or at least the calling number. Of course this might not be the only reason.

Reference: Android 1.6 Changelog.Īn interesting discussion on this permission can be found at StackOverflow: Android permissions: Phone Calls: read phone state and identity. With that, this permission is automatically set - whether the developer wants it or not.

The reason for "phone calls" might be quite easy: Looking at the app requirements, they list "Android 1.6 or higher".
