Hi
I own a T68i and I wonder if there is any way that I can display the people in my phonebook by their surnames and not by their first names? In my T39 there was a funktion for that, but in the T68i one can only choose the order when you sync the phonebook.

Which software do you have? I have R5C001. Have you upgraded your phone to i-version?
Posted by sunjivas

Since we're stil talkn abt surname in phnebuk, i want to ask how t68 recognizes it.. Is the 2nd name automaticaly bcums d surname?

T68m can do it-t68i cant-cant even list names alphabeticaly
Posted by jnonhoffzieg
orangeman, sure they're listed alphabetically - how else would they be listed?? But it is quite strange that they can't be listed by surname... especially since the T68m has this feature.

phonebook > options > sync view. (R2E)
i use outlook to fix names.
t68 only gets the first name as the "first name" and the rest it makes the "surname"... so if the name was juan carlos (then a surname), it would take juan as first name and carlos+surname as the last name.
outlook can help fix this.

in my add contact, there is First name and Last name. So it takes the Last name as the surname.

I'm disapointed at SE. I used to have a T39 and I always arranged my phone book by surname. Is it so hard to keep that function in newer software?

my two cents worth: If you don't like it, get rid of it.

Yup..the first name that you key in will become first name and after a space, the second one will become last name.

Spoke with the SE support and they said that there was no room for first and surnames in the new SW so they just called it "Name" and as you wrote, the first word is the firstname and the second word is the surname. According to SE you can sync your phonebook with an older SE or Ericsson (with first and surnames) and choose the order in your phonebook to be the opposite. The old way was the easy way I think... don't you?
