Mismatched? Didn't happen to me... Can you discern any pattern? What accounts do you have on your address book (skype, facebook, ...)?

There is a bug with the current implementation of the QtMobility (1) where all the images get reduced to 64x64. I had to enlarge them back to 120x120 (standard size for the address book) in order to see how it would look like with real images.

Yes, right now is a "dumb" algorithm but I have to say that I already like it better than having all the numbers without any separation (like on the standard application). I have international phone numbers with +, some phone numbers with area code and some without on my cell. Some countries have 3 digit prefix (e.g. US), some have 4 (e.g. Brazil) and the international code is not standard (it can be 1,2,3,4 or even more digits long) so it is a little more complicated to format them that one would hope.

Yes, again I agree. I did not take much time fine tuning it because it all can be done on the cellphone by change css files. One of the things I tried was using the "Droid" fonts and it looks really good. One should be able to customize all the colors, font, images by just changing css files.

Thank you! That is the kind of feed back I am looking for.

I do want at least to support grouping. I have just about 300 contacts on my phone and already take me a long time to find some. I don't know if the current implementation of the backend supports creating custom fields - I will have to check, but if does, I don't see why we can't have both.... In order to use the ring tones that is more exploration that needs to be done.
