Just start typing (when the "Select contact" dialog appears). It filters as you type.

Why indeed... but 2003 support was added via an update today.

I wouldn't use Nokia's PC sync software even if it existed, but I do wish for better google calendar sync.

You're right that the N900 has some rough edges compared to 'other' smartphones, but many of these are being actively worked on and it has some amazing advantages.

I did my research, bought it, tried not to be disappointed by the limitations which I -knew- were present, and am still mostly blown away.
