RELEVANT TOPICS according to number of ratings
  • Solution #6: Store and Handle prefered numbers Information
  • Solution #1: Adding filtering & sorting to call list
  • Grouping contacts: Solution #2: Add grouping of contacts (A) + Solution #3: Add grouping of contacts (B) + Solution #7: Provide filters for grouping unknown numbers
  • Speed dial: Solution #4: custom-sized speed dial desktop shortcuts + Solution #9: Provide speed dial for phone pad
  • Solution #8: Better UI for Missed Calls
  • Contacts fields: Solution #12: Store fax numbers (actually implemented) + Solution #15: Freedom to rename entry titles + Solution #16: Possibility to add more than one "Note" to a contact .

.
relevant/not relevant ... i thnk that many of the problems of the contact database comes from the fact that each number is multiplied to fit any available service for the number, instead of offering a sellection of options for the number (with a filter or not) ... for a mobile # field, you get a sms field for the # a sip field for the # a sip message field for the # ... doing that, maybe the management of the database gets tricky

this is the reason why calling a number from hte call log is so difficult now ... you cannot call it using hte sip application if it was a gsm call, because it was not multiplied ...

this is a MAJOR ISSUE!!!
what if i just want to copy the # and put it in an email?
etc.

sure, this is a solution for the touch screen environment. one needs an easy way to access all these options ... don't know if this is the best, maybe it is for a touch screen phone ... have no idea .. though i would have prefered a menu with options (like in a clasic n95)
