In the Sim manager there is an Edit Group but I cannot find anything that will let me add a group, is there anything that will let me group contacts?
My purpose is to be able to just select the group when I am sending an SMS and it will send the SMS to all the members of that group instead of me selecting all the contacts.
Thanks!
Someone has mentioned about PowerSMS on another forum but it is not free, anyone who has another suggestion?
TIA

One touch
Buttons are big enough and the interface is designed so that you could type with fingers and not to use stylus. Make a call, send a new SMS, add any information about the contact in one touch
T9 Search
If you have a lot of contacts, use the search feature to quickly find a certain person. The information is searched through all the main info fields and through the comments or notes. That's why it is very easy to find a contact when you remember information partly
Visualization
Upload a photo for the each contact in your address book. The photo will be displayed when you receive or make a call. Photos will be also displayed at your Favorite list, after the successful search of the contact is fnished.
Connection notification
Making a call your phone will give a light vibro-signal, notifying you about the successful connection. Thus you do not need to look at the display and check the connection. Double vibro-signal will let you know that the number you are trying to reach is busy.

Don't just purchase the software because I referred this application, take the trial. I haven't fully tried this application in regards to categories...
I use GroupSMS, which is free:

Works great on the Xperia. You determine the people in a group by editing their contact details and selecting their 'categories'.
You can't do this from manilla if you use it, you have to go to the old windows mobile contact view.

Many contacts info is stored in your handset.
When you need to call someone of the contacts , and you should
not remember their name or number clearly.
Your ppcs embedded contacts list software support searching by
their name or number only.
In this software, you can search the contacts by their any
property values, or searching in all of their property
information.
You can find them easily with this software. You can find them by
enter a word or a tip info of the contacts.
In the search by listbox, choose a condition.
If you choose all, the software will fix all of the contacts
property.
if you choose company the software will fix all of the
contacts company name property.
For example, you choose company, and in the is textbox, you
input microsoft or micro,
this software will select the contacts which company name property
is microsoft or micro for you.
For example, you choose all, and in the is textbox, you input
California,
this software will select the contacts which all properties
values have California string.
Not forget, click the button search, it will do searching.
The listbox will appeared the searching results after you click
search.
If want to call or sms someone of them, click it in the listbox
or move the cursor to him and
click the call & sms button.

Nice effforts.
But it takes as much time as the standard inbuilt "search" program takes. In case we can improve the speed then this program would be worth your efforts..good luck

I dont notice any significant improvement in the speed. Nerthless, good efforts..
I would like to create a shortcut to a specific contact so that clicking on it takes you to the details page of that particular contact from where you can then choose how to contact that person (email, text, mobile phone, home phone, work phone).
So I've been messing with an lnk file:
1000#\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts ...
I tried -new as a command line parameter, and that works. I cannot figure out how to go to a specific contact. Then I found this discouraging thread:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454208.aspx
There must be some way to do this. HTC Home has a similar function in their contacts tab. When you tap and hold a contact it takes you to that contact's detail page.
My end goal is to incorporate this into Mortbuttons ... I want a menu of favorite contacts, so when I click on any one, it takes me to the page where I can choose how to contact them. I'm surprised this doesn't exist, because that is the most intuitive way to do things. First you think of whom you want to contact, and only THEN do you think of how to contact them.
The challenge is up!
here's how its done
20#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel: 0000000
that doesn't work. that calls the given phone number. I am looking for a link to a person's contact entry in Contacts. Please read my post above carefully.
I'd be interested in that as well. Anyone?
Wrote it already in my forum, but just in case...
I don't know of any way to do this from command line.
There is a way to show the contact page with COM/POOM (interface for programmers), which will be implemented in the upcoming MortButtons beta (probably tonight - CET).
It wasn't available so far because I still use eVC4 (because it's free and allows more easy support of systems up to including WM2003SE), which doesn't support new features of WM5 (like contact info page, contact image, contact ringtone, etc.) without some workarounds...
Thank you to all the developers on this site. It has answered already most of my queries that I had upon receiving my new HTC Diamond 2.
I am very happy with the device and using some of the tweaks and programs the phone is now nearly set up exactly how I want it.
However there is one feature that I think is missing. As standard the HTC D2 will allow a call to be rejected and a standard text message be sent. But this will be sent to all callers.
I do not want to spend money sending a sms to cold callers for example. Just wondering if it would be possible to create an application that could expand on the standard function.
Some ideas for the app would be:
Send sms only to contacts in the address book that are included in a catergory or multiple catergories.
Send a different sms depending on the catergory of the contact.
Set up profiles to define the reason for not answering call, eg in meeting, driving, sleeping etc
Of cause the above list is not exhaustive.
Would like peoples opinions on this function and whether some one would be able to create. I would of course offer to test the app. Sorry do not have the current skills to create the app.
In advance thanks for reading this message and for replies.
Hi everyone,
if I search for a name via the dial numbers in the phone dialog (after pressing green dial button) it works fine to dial the numbers of the persons I found. But if I press the left or right key to switch between home or phone number, mail or sms, I'm not able to create SMS or mails out of this window. On my old htc artemis with wm6 but without touchFlo it worked fine and it is much more useful than going to contacts overview because of the easy searching.
Hope you understand what I try to say
Thanks for any help, Tobi
You are right. However, once name is selected (with <m>) you can tap "Menu" - "Send Text Message" to send SMS.
Hi,
You can search your contact on the sms or email screen. At the line of the phone number, you write the first words of your contact and you have the list of your repertory.
You have only to choose at which of them you want to send an sms. I think it's easiest like this !
Thanks for both of the answers
@azahidi: I found this out yesterday, you're right thats an option, but not an advance I think, menu is too inconvenient for finger control. the greatest problem is, that if I select a contact with my finger, the phone directly calls it insteat of just selecting it and giving me further options.
@pinou13: that's great, I didn't know this yet, I think that solves my problem in a way
But nevertheless, it would be great, if one could set that if I click on the contact in the dial window, instead of directly dealing the number, showing the same overview (call cell phone, call home, write mail, write sms) from the contacts window.
If someone know a solution to do so, please post it, but so far it's an alternative to do it via sms or mail menu.
Thanks, Tobi
You can solve your problem with the Spb Mobile Shell. It is very finger-friendly to use, I am happy with it, but it has to be paid after 14 days free trial. For details: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Hm, looks great, but that's around 10% of the phones costs. I prefer to use freeware and I rather like touchFlo, but not in that one little thing
I've had my HD2 for about 2 months now and have just come across these two "issues".
1. Is there an app or a hack to have a group contact as a favourite/quicklink? I would like to have all my co-workers (group name work) on the home screen quicklink or favourite to have instant access to any one of them instead of going to contatcs>groups>work>select person.
2. When I try to make a phone call that has a similar phone number it tries to dial it all the time. So I had to add another contact with just that same number. For example I have a co-worker with a number 123-456-7890 ext 0987 in my contact but I want to call my main work number of 123-456-7890 which I don't have in my contacts. Yet it calls the co-worker. It doesn't give me the option of not calling anyone from my contacts or call history.
Hope someone can help and this all makes sense
Anyone?
try dialer one app
