Re: wm5 contact list default with name

Kind of. I'm not happy with the fact that what appears with the name when you bring up contacts is determined by the OS. When I bring up cantacts the first contact in the list is highlighted. If I poke another contact a list of that contact's phone numbers and email address appears. There is no left/right cursor that I can see. I guess I am going to have to live with it.

Thanks for the reply.

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.
