When you are adding a contact, when you are ready to insert the number, by default the field jumps to "work tel". Does anyone know if that value can be change to default to say "mobile tel"? Thanks in advance for your help.

When I open a new text message, and start to type the contact name in the 'To' field, usually my MDA Vario starts showing a drop-down box with suggested contact names, which narrows down to the correct contact the more letters I type in. This seems to work fine exept for one contact name, where I have to click on the 'To' and choose the contact manually. Any idea why it chooses not to guess or auto-complete a particular contact? It's not set up differently from what I can see.
I have another problem with my phone.
It doesn't show sms senders name. The sender IS in my contact list, but still, it doesn't show.
Some registry tweak or what?
I tried searching, but "name" and "no" are not included in the search

by default no, it works automatically, maybe you have the contacts list with spaces in the number ?!
related question:
I get an sms from a person not in my contacts list, i select to add it and set a name, but in Pocket Outlook i keep seeing just the number... is this correct? in my K800i once i add the contact in the address book i see name in sms list.
I have absolutely no spaces in numbers.
BUMP
Still need help.
I chose a contact as a shortcut. If a contact has multiple numbers, when I click on the shorcut and click on the phone icon, it will ask "remember this choice" for default. Well... I want my calls to this person to have a default number, but I want the default SMS number to be different, but it doesn't do it. When I choose a default CALL number, it uses that as the SMS default number.
Anyone notice this? Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Have you tried going to the individuals contact and long pressing the desired numbers to set them as the defaults that you want?

You can't do that from the contact shortcut (I created a shortcut on my phone's desktop by holding down on the desktop, then choosing shortcut, then choose contact; that's where the I'm having the problem)
Once I choose a default in the contact's shortcut (on the desktop), it uses tha default for both CALLS and SMS. In my situation, I want the Home phone number to be default for calls, but the cell phone number for SMS.
When going to the phone dialler, you can tap out the name of a person but it does not give you the option to call any of the associated numbers. Seems to only come up with one number (probably the first in the list).
This was coming up wrong for a few people I call a lot so I set their default number. I now don't know how to deselect the default number (so there is no default). I want to do this because when I add a short cut to a person on the desktop, it will give a drop down list of numbers to call if there is no default but dials the default number automatically if it does have a default number.
Seems really bizarre. I would have expected:
Being able to call any number when entering a name from the dialler (with the default number first if it has been set).
Being able to call any number from a person short cut regardless whether a default number is set or not.
Being able to remove a default number from a contact.
Any help or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
I am on JM2 and I don't have this problem. Whenever I start typing the name of a contact, it appears, I press on it and all the number are there to choose...
That's promising. Are you able to confirm if there is a way to remove the default number selection from a contact once it has been set? Thanks.
I'm going mad with this but I cannot figure out how to edit a contacts number, I'm positive the option doesn't exist, if it does it's well hidden or im blind.
when I chose a contact to edit, the only options I get are 'delete' 'send message' 'move to' and 'copy to', nothing to actually edit the contact card to either edit a number, add a number, add email etc.

Not something I need to do often and probably not done it since I had the Oppo but need to do it now.
