Searched hard but all I found was a page listing "commercial open source" CRMs, i.e. what you have to pay for.

On the lookout for free CRMs so I don't have to build one!

I was looking the same in these days. Looks like SugarCRM being a great choice. I played a lot yesterday with SugarCRM, Zoho CRM and Salesforce. Only SugarCRM, in its community edition, is open source and free. Zoho is nice (and free up to 3 users). Saleforce is more expensive.

Edit. I checked out vTiger crm, and it looks event better than SugarCRM, and there are also some plugins for integration in Outlook, Thunderbird and iPhone. I think I will try to install it ASAP.

vTiger CRM has been designed on Sugar CRM as far as i know but its interface does look very pretty and feels better than Sugar CRM do elaborate on it when u do try it out Thanks

At an old job of mine we set up Sugar CRM for the sales guys, and it worked wonderfully. You should definitely check it out.

A: 

I am developing some modules for Vtiger CRM tring to extend some existing modules(for ex: contacs,mail,calendar). My opinion is that Vtiger Crm covers 80% of the standar requirement. There are some limitation in extending the system. Hardcoded query and lots of magic numbers. (ex: if (a==5) else b(a==6) and so on). A new version 5.1 is coming out (is in rc1).
