I'd also like to know how can I find a detail in my phonebook, say I wanna find someone working at "Coca-Cola". In my P 910i when I'd enter Coca... all entries containing Coca would be displayed using the "find " function which my M600i lacks.

Interesting, i've been able to find the size of my address book through the storage wizard but not the number of contacts, i can only find that out from Outlook in my pc.

Ok just found out a way but it's a work around.

Backup your contacts from the contacts application. Browse to the saved back up file and click on it, it will now ask you want to save the x amount of contacts in your address book (x is the number of contacts you have). Hope this helps.

@701,

I know what you mean. You will have to sort it by company name for UIQ3.0 contacts application to be able to do this. You can use find but that's a pain. The best address book search was by Vito quickcontacts, it would search First name, last name & company name all at once. I wonder if the Vito people will port it to UIQ 3.0

Neah, that's just a work around. Sometimes I don't know the ompany, other times just a name like 'John'. I have to have a 'find' function
