On outlook it is possible to fill out someones details but save the file as the company name. This is helpful if it is a company you deal with but to have the contact in the comapny's name.
Can this be done on the trinity itself? If I fill out someones contact then it seems to always file it as the persons name on the PDA.
I know you can show all the contacts by company, but I mean to have it as the default.
I import my contacts into outlook substituting "contact" with "company", but still have problem with outlook and trin splitting the name (LTD, CompanyName) Really annoying! Like you, I'd love to find an answer.
Why don´t use Company name in the "Family Name" field?
This would apply to every contact, so you should use something else for people's names.... like writing all the names (first, last.....) in a single Row, line "Name" itself.
It's a matter of discipline and knowing where to look for your contact's data.....
I see more inconvenients than advantages to all that, but if this is a must for you.....

Hi!
I love my phone. One issue id that I know how to view contacts by group, but I cant figure out hpw to view contacts by organization. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Is there some how to convert the organization fields into the group field?
Thanks-
Robert
Please help! I am using the dudes roger 0.5 which kicks ass. I need to be able to sort m contacts by organization.. I have no exchange server and dont know anything about exchange. I used to use activesynch whith my old artemis.
PLease?
I dont know if I was clear,
I mean when you enter a contact, and you enter their name , number, ertc... you can also enter the name of their organization. I am not sure if this is the defauls set up since I synched my outlook contacts with gmail to get them into my phone... but the issue is I want to be able to see my contacts by the organization they belong too... It is very difficult to find people by just searching for their name as I cant remember everyones name, but I do know the company they are saved under. This seems like such an important basic figure. Am I missing something obvious?
Android 2.2 on HTC EVO
I have the same issue. I use Outlook 2007 on my desktop computer an use HTC sync to sync with my EVO. On my desktop Outlook all my contacts are filed by Company. When they came in on the EVO they are filed by contact name. What a joke for a business phone. Android calls the company field Organization. I also can't remember individual names of people at every company contact. There should be a setting to file by Name, Organization, etc.
If there is no Android setting than even an APP would solve the problem. If I can't get a solution the phones going back and I will have to try an iPhone. Had Windows mobile 6.5 with no outlook issues.
Thanks, Barry
Hello Folks!!
I have a big problem with my contacts...especially with my own contact card I have connected a few of my contacts (friends) with details from their facebookaccounts, for this reason you have to log into your own facebookAcc of course.
Well, this is the problem: Once you connect with facebook, your User ID will be overwritten with your details from the FB Account. In my case this is useless, because my FB Acc works with a pseudonyme But now i can´t use my HD2 with my own ("real") name, what is quite problematic in the context of software which is registred on a specific User ID.
Any help? I would be very very thankful...
i havn´t found a solution yet...for this reason:
*UP*
If you go into your contacts for whatever person is linked to FB, you can go to the very bottom after "editing" that contact and simply remove click on the "Tap to Remove Facebook Link".
I believe that will at least rid you of the connection that is causing this issue for you. I don't seem to have the same problem, the only thing it seems to overwrite is the birthday and the picture, so now whatever pic is on FB for that contact is what shows when that person calls, which is pretty cool.
perhaps my introduction was a little bit confusing (i think i´ll never get an oscar for my english^^), i´ll try it in other words:
There´s nothing wrong with the other contacts in my list, it´s just about my "owner card" (UserID of the Device itself), which has been overwritten by the "pseudonym-details" from my facebook account. For this reason some programs don´t work right now, because they have been registred on my "real" owner infos.
Do you now what I mean?
Try correcting your details in the registry, I think the setting you need is 'HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner\Name'.
Or create a separate contact with your own name and details, then choose 'menu -> save to my business card' (I have a Dutch device so I'm not sure if that's the name of the option). Not sure if that'll overwrite your Facebook nickname, but it's worth a try.
I love the N1 but the contacts is really starting to annoy me, is there a way to add contacts with just their first names instead of having first and last? For instance i have a friend named James and when i try to add a new contact for a different person named Jimmy, it'll automatically lump him in under James unless i put a last name, any way to separate them and other contacts who are supposedly similar names?
At the bottom of a new entry you'll see a "More" option. Click that and add a "Nickname"
I use first and last names usually as well as nick names. I do notice that it lumps people under the same group as My dad is named Mike and i am too.. Its got all my emails lumped underneath him which is definitely annoying.
go to the contact it gets merged with, choose edit, hit menu and select seperate.
I find the easiest way to add/update/delete contacts / update calendar (apologies if I's stating the bleedin' obvious..) is do do it inline from my PC/Laptop with a nice big screen 'n keyboard.. then she syncs up pretty-da**-quick..
There also seem to be some fields (eg Birthdate) which I can't edit in the N1 version
Cheers!

Nothing to do with the phone, its how Outlook managed your contacts. Go to Google contacts online and swap them all round.
What I had to do, needed to sort my contacts out anyway
so i have to fix every name and name??
isnt there anyway to fix it once to all conatcts ?
I guess you can export all contacts from outlook to an csv file, open the csv file in excel or openoffice calc and shift the columns for firstname, and lastname.
how can i do that?
and after ill export to CSV - whats than? im not that good in exel..
I have no idea about excel either but you have two choices most likely:
1. Just drag and drop the column(s) ...
2. Play with cut/paste after you select the entire column
Damn. In fact, I want to do it the other way round.
Fimaly name, then first name.
When I imported my contacts, I got first name before fimaly name
In my Contacts, if someone has more than one phone number, I store the separately because I find it easier to find and dial a specific number.
example:
John Doe (Mobile)
John Doe (Work)
John Doe (Home)
But I seem to only be able link John Doe's facebook profile to one of the numbers to use the 'contact picture'. When I try and link the same person's facebook profile to the other numbers, his/her name doesn't appear in the list to choose from anymore.
Does anyone know whether it's possible to link the same facebook profile more than once so that all three of the numbers show the contact's facebook profile pic?
To be honest, I don't think it's possible.
- and to be even more honest, I think you might be the only person on the planet thinking dividing people into more contacts than one combined is the easiest.
I just don't think HTC thought anyone would find it more logical that way...!?
FB contact pictures should be stored in Windows\FBContacts folder, try assigning those to your contacts manually

hahaha.. i find it easier to find and dial someone's number like that... that is, one-press instead of two when someone has more than one number... may just be that i'm used to it that way..
Really, my contacts were only stored that way because the original list was exported from a whole range of different phones... some that didnt have the capability to store more than one number for a contact. There's hundreds of numbers that I really don't want to sort out individually... and of course I might end up going back to a basic phone in future.
oh wellz...

thanks p107r0.. i gave that a shot, but when selecting the profile picture, there's no option to go into the Windows\FBContacts folder to get the picture...
I'm guessing if there was a way to acess that folder to select a file, it might work well because the pics in that folder would get updated accordingly (but the file name would remain the same) whenever someone changes their profile pic.
Can always copy that entire folder into an "Album", but it won't update itself if someone changed their profile pic.
my advise is to sync your contacts with gmail. gmail provides you with easy way off finding duplicates and also merging contacts. you'd be amazed how easy it is.
