I have the Blackstone from two days, it's very cool but i think that the contact tab was not "user friendly".
I like more the contact tab from TF2D, it's possible to "import" on Blackstone???

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.
i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions
Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.
Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.

Download 'HD tweak' to tweak the registry settings for shorter delay before phone rings etc.

to sort using "firstname, last name" FOR ALL CONTACTS you would need to do so in Desktop's Outlook. i dont' think mobile outlook (aka contacts) have this option, unless you want to do ONE BY ONE. I haven't tried this, because I always use "last name, first name"
as for the delay in answering call, the previous poster is right, install HD Tweak, and you can modify the delay in answer calls. it works quite well. also the slider to answer/ignore the call is a little buggy, it lags when you try to slide while the phone is ringing. i would suggest S2U2's slider, it is very lean and fast.
This how you do it to be First Last name however it is quite boring because you have to do it to each entry in your contacts list on your HD.
1- On your touchFlo3D People tab select “All People”
2- The first contact well be highlighted in green hit “Menu” then “Edit”
3- Change the “File as” entry to be First Last name.
Now the contact item will be stored and listed as First Last name.
You can see why I said it is boring because you have to do it for your contacts one by one.
I hope this is what you wanted

outlook can do that
Hi - I've only had the HD a few weeks and of all the things I've seen on this forum, the only really niggling thing I've found with the standard install on my HD is the contacts issue mentioned in this thread. I'm sync-ing all my calendar, mail and contacts with Lotus Notes (using Lotus Notes Traveller). In Lotus Notes I have got all the contacts entered with their first names and last names, but then in the options I have selected "firstname lastname" as the view style. I am amazed that Windows mobile doesn't have this option?
If I WERE to go through every single contact entry and change the "file as" to the right format, would this synchronise back to Lotus Notes and cause any problems? Or is it just a setting on the device itself? Is there no global device setting to change the view style?

I made a post about this yesterday.
I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

I have tried to find if this has been answered elsewhere so I apologise if I have missed it.
Got my HD2 this morning and the first thing I did was update the firmware to 1.48.
Synced with Outlook and it has my contacts. Tried to put my wife on the People tab as a favourite. My previous phone would have stored her and I would have had to select her work or mobile number after selecting her picture on the tab. However, I see I have to choose which number when I add her as a favourite. That's OK - so I select her mobile number. I then try and add her again with her work number as a separate favourite but that deletes her first entry. It looks like you can only have one favourite per contact even if they have more than one number. Surely that can't be right? I don't want to have to create separate contacts for every number for my favourite people!
Have I missed something?
TIA

Choose which number you're most likely to call - once the contact is added as a favourite, if you tap the name (as opposed to the picture) it will bring an "action" screen listing call mobile, call work, call home, send message, send email etc depending on what info is available for that contact
Thanks for the help, Isadora. That's good as it means I can have more favourite people. The only disappointent is that it is a little more difficult to hit the name instead of the picture if you're walking fast or something like that. But thanks again anyway.

If you add "View Contact Card" then the default action for that contact is to bring up the action list where you can call them, text them, email them etc..
It's a bit more like the original people style that was exhibited in TouchFlo.

When you select which contact you wish to add to the grid on People tab a seperate window will be displayed ^ the phone numbers & the option to add contact card will be there. Good luck!
Great! That's just what I needed. Now why can't a 310 page userguide tell you that?
Thanks

For individuals I like to use nicknames in the Company field of my contact cards. This allows me to have my contact's full names in the card, yet sort them by their Company (or nickname). That is to say, for my father I would put his full name, but I'd like him to be sorted as "Dad" which is placed in the company field. This is happening just fine in the "All People" list and it worked just fine in the contacts tab of TF3D 2.1. The "company name" is also displaying properly when the person calls. However, the People tab of Sense 2.5 seems to show the first name regardless of what is being displayed in the "All People" list.
Does anyone know if this can be changed? I'll go sniffing through the registry when I get home from work, but I figured I might as well ask and hope I get a solution before then.
Any one know how to remove your Facebook contacts from your contacts list. Considering WM7 hasn't been come up with a quick scroll function, spending a minute scrolling through 500 additional facebook contacts to call someone really is a pain in the butt! Yes I know there is a 'search' function, but I don't like having to type in a persons name to just call them.
Is anyone else having this problem?
PS... I still love the phone. Can't wait for an official update from Microsoft!
you can go to settings ---> people and check "only add facebook info to existing contacts"
Also remember you can hit the search button and look for your contact like that. Searches in both names and surnames.
You can also hit a letter and get the alphabet grid to quickly go to names starting with a certain letter.
The best thing they could do is put a setting in there that only shows contacts with phone numbers. Same thing Android does.
I have a Messenger contact list the size of my facebook friends list.
On top of that I am coming over from an Android phone.
That is 3 different sets of contacts. Having it when I press phone and only showing me contacts with phone numbers makes sense.
