Updated this morning before work. Didn't see any change (no contacts added). Check phone later at work, GV contacts were imported. Perhaps the lack of wifi in the car triggered the update.

Quick testing, sms and dialing work.

Now I just have to sort out my contacts. For instance I have my wife on the N900 and in GV with home, work, cell numbers. She's now listed 4 times in my contact list: N900, GV home, GV work, GV cell. So I see her name listed multiple times with no clear indication which number (GV listings show as away).

I merged 2 of the 3 GV listings with the N900 entry. Works fine, now down to 2 entries for my wife. The N900 entry has 4 GV numbers listed (2 each for work and cell, IM and Call).

Getting a bit cumbersome to find the right number to call.

@epage Hopefully you can get the direct calling working (ie call any contact number through GV). The I could distill my GV contacts down to cell only.

Thanks for the great work.
Isn't that the whole point of GV, you should only need 1 number for someone . Most of my contacts have very distinct numbers, so I can just click on each one and I can tell what it is.

Some possible helpers
  • Append the phone type to the persons name - This can hurt merging I think
  • Optionally append the phone type to the contact id (the phone number)
  • Leave it alone
  • My proposal on using the phone type to chose the users presence - would only distinguish between cell/other

Thoughts?
