i've installed it looks great aspecially the keyboard, when i only have one hand left i never could make a call! whats to bad is that everytime you start it up it go's to "Thumbnails" but i like it beter if it starts up whit "Contacts" an if you open contacts it take a lot of time to load them al a long time...

Very.. Very nice!
Edit: If anyone wants a free program to turn .mp3s into .wavs (and to edit them). Try Audacity.
Edit: What happens if I put people into groups into the widget, but then I close the widget. Is the grouping no longer in effect? I'll test it tomorrow (everyone is asleep).

One other idea is to have the application show you little icons around the contact when you press the first time so you can quickly select what number to call (cell, home, work,..)
- It would also be great to allow adding a specific number of a contact to the speeddial in the applet (and if so allow for adding several contacts twice (but with different phone numbers)... I really miss the quite normal speeddial functions as used on eg symbian devices (E90)...

You will be able to change the time between clicks for the double click - in case you are having problems getting the double click just right. It will be a setting at some point.
- Perhaps double clicking for call is not the best idea, perhaps long press is better?

I need to remember to create a feature request for this one on the nokia web site...
- The contacts list is not sorted, and clicking on the keyboard just searches for the first character in a name, it should use a incremental search.
It actually uses the standard "incremental search" for the list. It is quite tricky to get the timing right. I will add to my list to add a better one.

Hi
I've just installed your app, but I don't get a desktop app, nor options to group
The version that I get in AppMan is 0.0.6-1
Cheers
Niz

Anybody else? Any more details?

this is a cool replacement for the contacts app however i have some inputs:
a. after i add contacts, few of them doesnt have the option to send SMS to.
b. its REALLY hard for me to find contacts between all those thumbnails because my IM contacts are also there plus there are no names, making it even harder, you should filter phonable contacts from IM contacts and add names.
c. find a way to add portrait mode, maybe using drlaunch.
d. few of my contacts have a few number(home/cell/work ect) and it could be nice to have an option to choose default for the col double tap option
no doubt this is going in the right direction !

Like some others above I have installed the app but have no option to instal the applet or add a widget. Am I missing something?
Also the app has completely muddled up the contact thumbnails.

just installed, but it doesn't work here. The program crashes while loading the contacts and don't start at all. I have some of 500 contacts, does the number matters?
Any idea/workaround?
Please make sure you have the latest version first by refreshing the application manager.
