.... is there a solution yet???

I have the same problem.
In Portugal, we call people by first name/last name.
Anybody knows how to fix it?

I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.
If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)

The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.
However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.

but isn't there a way or a registry hack to change the display to FirstName/LastName in smart dialing?

In contacts, press the contacts and it appears a new item in Menu in order to make first name, last name

Add recent call to existing contact?

Is there an easy way to attach a number belonging to a received call to an existing contact item?

Yes click on call history, then click on the number and a menu should appear - save to contacts - voila!

It has been a deam of PPC users but till now there isn't a direct way to add a number in call history to an existing contact.

I know. It really sucks. Why do they assume that every call without a name tag is a new contact. Maybe a fix in WM6

Sorry misunderstood you - i know this sucks, ha ha but we are use to it, its microsoft after all lol

2 Mobile numbers?

Is there a way to add to add 2 mobile numbers for the same contact? I don't why, but people do have more than one mobile, and I just cannot figure out why there is only one Mobile number category in the Contacts option. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be really nice to know. Thanks in advance.

Put the other number at Car field and you will be able to call and send SMS to that number using our device.

Thanks but even after entering it in the Car field I don't get the number when I type a new SMS. (I can send the SMS selecting it manually) It just suggests the number in the Mobile field... so back to square one.

you can create a new text message click contact -> navigate to the caller -> high light the car using your dpad. click menu then click sent text message to

Inesoft Address Book 1.8 or 2.0 has that feature. Just replace one of the fields (say fax,car,etc.) to mobile and you'll have two mobile numbers for a single contact..

How can I paste a contact while dialing?

Hi,
sometimes I want to dial a code and append a phone number of a stored contact.
Result should be like this (only example):
#31#phonenumber
But when I type #31# there is no way to insert a stored phone number.
What can I do? Thx for help.

I am surprised - from my point of view it is a very basic feature of mobile phones.
There is no hint or soluion?
Nobody else with this issue?

I remember that
You could use VITO copy paste to solve this problem.

Thanks for the first reply .
have read about your recommendation. Using VITO copy paste requires follwing steps (if it works in the dialer of TouchFlo):
- Open a contact
- Click to edit the contact (to get an textfield)
- Copy the number
- Open the dialer
- Write the code
- Paste the number
Hmm, no easy way to choose a contact directly from the input field of the dialer?

Hmm, Than im afraid cant help you further..
Alternatively you could manually hide it ( Start/Settings/Phone )
But i think thats common knowledge for you

However, there does not seem to be a chance to use this basic feature.

I asked once more in Rhodium forum and got a very good tool as workaround:
