Re: wm5 contact list default with name

>> In WM5 does anyone know: when you bring up the Contact list what determines the default information that is shown with the name? things like mobile phone number , home phone number, etc <<

Seems they made this difficult as well...

Gone is the ability to "pulldown" the numbers and setting the default info...

However, you can still accomplish this by highlighting the contact name and using the left/right cursor to select the default number/method to contact the contact.

Noticed also that after you "find" a contact using the filter, where the app used to leave that record as the entry point, as soon as you clear the filter, it goes back to the first record in the database...

....guess the manager of the contacts development team is named "Aardvark" ;-)

Hope this was what you were after.
