Clipboard driving me nuts

I have recently bought an XDAII and am very happy overall. One thing driving me crazy is when I have a missed call and view the number in the call log there is no way of adding the number to an existing contact.
You can add to a new contact but not new contact - even just being able to copy the number to the clipboard would be good...
At the moment I have to write the number down from the log and then go into contacts and enter the number manually. MANUALLY! this isnt supposed to be what technology is about! :?
Can anyone help.. please?!

If the number is not in your contacts, adding as a new contact is easy. If the number is say, a new / alternate phone number for an already exisiting contact, the only was is to create a new contact then copy the number, go to your existing contact and paste it. Then go back and delete the new. temporary contact. It is a bit of a pain but I can't think of any other way at the moment !

Thanks for the reply. That is the way I am doing it at the moment but seems very long-winded! Have been looking for perhaps a third party app which makes clipboard functions available from apps which dont have it as standard (such as call log).. no luck so far.

let's make a better sms manager for ppc phone

isn't anyone goung to complain about how un-ergonomic the built-in messaging client is? sure you can text with one hand with intellipad, and search for contacts with one hand using .mobile contacts, but what about forwarding? reading while replying?
i like intellipad, but i think it's still too small for rapid thumb-texting. also, don't you wish you can read the message you are replying to? or type nicknames in the to: field and then when you press send it looks up nicknames and replaces them with phone numbers?
don't you miss being able to send SMS on a scheduled date and time?
i don't think there is an app out there that does this. phoneplus is close, .mobile contacts solves some of the problems. but for the rest, let's develop one! does crossfire ring a bell?

Group contacts

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

Inesoft Phone
Dialer
Dialer makes the usage of the main phone features easy and quick: dial a number, send a message, search a person or add a new contact to your address book. Save your time using Inesoft Dialer on your Windows Mobile phone.
Video Tutorial
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.

Calling directly from Calendar/ToDo list, for the HTC Magic

Hello everyone
I recently bought the HTC Magic and I am very satisfied with the sync it does with the Google apps, which is really seamless.
What I would really like though is being able to call numbers directly from calendar entries. I have names of clients, followed by their numbers as calendar entries.. Does anyone know if there is any way I could do that? Is there an app maybe out there that could do that?
Can anyone point me to a developer who could maybe program that?
So far the only solution I have found is to ask Google to sent me an SMS reminder with my appointment. The SMS is clickable and the telephone numbers inside the SMS are callable as well. But I don't want to be doing that, since I am making a lot of calls everyday.
Thank you all for your time and help

?'s re: group contacts & predictive calling

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?
