When you have missed a phone call and tap corresponding entry in the phone application, you may expect the phone to call back to the very number you missed a call from. In case the call was from one of your contacts, and that contact has more than one phone number associated with it, you are instead asked to choose one of those numbers.

Am I the only one thinking this is not right? Or am I maybe missing something? The person might at the moment only be available on the number they called from and I can't see a way to even know which number that was.
no you are not alone and if you have a look at this: http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...ne_experience/

you'll see that there are quite a few good solutions already added to the brainstorm. feel free to vote for them.

I've just thought about the missed calls again and I'd say the best solution is if you see the number your contact has called you with at the first button on top and all the other numbers below.

this would be a good solution for these kinds of scenarios:

A friend of yours calls, let us call him Steve

Steve calls you at 3pm, with his office number, but you've been in a meeting for another 4 hours (that's gotta be hell guys) and you are not able to call him back.

So you see you missed Steve's call at 3pm, but you know he is always in office until 5:30. now it's 6pm and it's a tuesday so it's his fitness day, which means you know you'll have to pick his private mobile phone, which is the second number on the list.

What do you think about this solution?
