Comments on: A Better Contact Application - Search/Sort By Contact http://www.e-series.org/archives/241 Where everything starts with an E - Nokia E50, E51, E60, E61, E61i, E62, E65, E66, E70 E71 and E90 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:45:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Anne in Switzerland http://www.e-series.org/archives/241#comment-83736 Anne in Switzerland Sun, 23 Mar 2008 09:44:18 +0000 http://www.e-series.org/archives/241#comment-83736 I loaded the Alon program onto my Nokia E90 and I'm really disappointed. First, it takes about 20 seconds to open the Alon program, so if someone wants to give me their phone number, they lose patience and write it on a piece of paper ! Second, you can search by ALMOST every field, and searching by notes is definitely what I bought it for, but you can't search by address !!! So if I'm going to London, for example, I can't type in London and get all my contacts who live there. What a glaring omission !!! Third, and most frustrating right now, is that I can't edit from Alon. When I select a contact in the program, then do options, then edit, it throws me out of the program onto the main page. Which takes me back to problem number one ... This is so frustrating !!! Are there any other programs out there besides Alon ? I also sent them a question about one function on the program and they never even answered. So that $19 price to me is still too expensive ...

No reply when pressing the qwerty keyboard. Also no replies when i type the first name of the contact. The only search way is only options - find etc? It is not convinient at all.

Apparently, E61 does not parse the various different ways in which phone numbers are stored. Outlook stores them as: +91 (732) 445-6979 or you may save it as +1 (432) 4778443 or as 44-343-234-2342 For the caller ID to work with E61 the incoming number must be stored exactly as the operator send it - that is as you 'read' the incoming number on your phone. I know this is very stupid. Reading some of these so basic and already-perfected-on-other-phones features makes one think that Nokia is run by idiots. @Gordon

Simply go to write a text message and enter the name of the company in the To: field, when you hit the centre button it brings up a list of all names that match your entry in either the name or company field. Having 700 customers on my E61 this was a big problem for me as I cannot remember all of their names, this is the best solution I can find without spending any money!!

Out of about 100 names, only 1 so far displays - the rest come up as numbers. I can't find anything wrong with my address book or anything special about the 1 name which displays.
