I was so far only able to test a N9 for only several hours. But for my a really big problem appearded at the way how the contacts names are displayed.
In the
settings panel
for contacts I have for the option how to display the names only "
prename - name
" and "
name - prename
".
I would prefer to have here a additional option like "
nickname
" at the N900.
So the Contacts application should display the Nickname of a Person. If I haven't entered a nickname it should take the "prename - name" or something like that as a fallback.
In many cases are a name not meaningful enought while searching for a phone number in the contact database.
I have many contacts related to a Company or a Job. At example "dentist". So I wrote at my N900 in the Nickname field "dentist Bob Butcher".
This way I was able to search for his name or his Job in the contacts list. Never mind if I was in this moment able to remember his real name or not. Same goes to many business contacts. At example, my IT Hotline has no realname data.
I used the Nickname field also to create this way my own usergroup. I placed after each name a short Group ID like "Family". So I simply typed at my N900 Family in the Search Field to filter my Contacts to see only Family members.
With over 1200 Contacts in my Adressbook I'm perhaps not a usual user. But ths N9 seemed to me very capable to handle this without problems.
I'm sure this should be a easyfix. The settings panel for Contacts is anyway very empty.
P.S.: Already orderes a N9. Even if this will stay a toy while I have to continue using my N900 for my daily business. The N9 is just tooo great!
