Getting last modified time on contacts database maratoid 11-13-2007

Hello.
Is it possible to get the last modified time of the contacts database
on a WinMo 5 device through either EDB or POOM API's?
EDB's CEDBASEINFOEX.ftLastModified is reported as not used in the
docs, and I can't find anything appropriate in POOM either.
Currently get around this problem by getting a hash of all the
contacts on startup and comparing it to the hash from my application's
last run. This however gets pretty slow for anything over about 500
contacts.

Any other way to do this?

Thanks.

I should probably clarify, that I am not interested in which contact
item has changed.
I'm looking for something that will tell me if ANY of the items in
contacts database have changed.
