That doesn't work. It must look them up by some other criteria.... possibly
the order in which the entries were created.
Because I'd like a different ringtone both when getting calls from home and
my job, I've resorted to deleting myself from Contacts and just putting a
vCard in "My Documents" for when I need to beam it (I haven't tested if
beaming this vCard over bluethooth in My Documents rather than from Contacts
works yet).
But, the problem is bigger. What if I have several contacts in the same
company? Which contact does Caller Id pick? Why am I continously prompted to
drill down to the Mobile Number when sending an SMS message..... shouldn't
the phone know that SMS messages usually go to mobile numbers. There are so
many little idiotic things in WM5... and what I was surprised to find out is
that many (such as the Default Number) are dumbed down things WM5... they
existed in previous versions of WM!
WM6 upgrade can't come soon enough. Hopefully, it's not even dumber than
WM5.
