Hellooo,
I saw an android commercial (i think from verizon) and there was a phone showing a contact list but it was like, just the image for the contact? What program or w/e is that? Like I'd like it so I can just scroll through larger images?

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:

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...
change to default avatar that appears on the Phone when taking calls? I do not want to associate any pictures but I want to put my own drawing !!
If you're talking about the contact picture that shows when specific people call, then this can be changed from editing the contact, and assigning a picture on the handset, or by doing the same thing in Outlook, or Windows Live Messenger's contact options on your PC.
As I said I do not want to assign a picture to each contact. I just want to change the default picture to something else for all contacts/callers.
again
As the guy said before, just use whatever you want as the contact pic. So, edit all your contacts and give them the same drawing or graphic you made if you want, or do like I do and use pictures of grossly deformed people (best downloaded from the internet) and use them in place of the ones you love.
Caid.
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.
