K700 Phonebook madness! |

Hi.
I just jumped from the Nokia side of town and found the k700 phonebook to be lacking severely in some departments.
On all my Nokias, when searching for a name, I have been able to (when searching for , say, Cathrine) start by pressing "C" to get all names beginning with a "c", then press "a", thus reducing the list to names beginning with "ca"- , and so on until I only had the name I was searching for selected.In my k700 this don't work.
PLEASE someone tell me there is a way to make this work cos I just don't wanna be flippin' through 30 numbers with the tiny joystick to get to the last names of a letter.....
Best
/Fredrik

I can do that...
Just enter the Phonebook in any way, and start to write the name and it will jump to the first matching.
If You got Jakob, Jens, Jesper; By pressing J it jumps to Jakob, now pressing e and it jumps to Jens, and pressing s will take you to Jesper.
I enter the phonebook by holding down a number key for more than 2 sek or by flip the joystick up ones.

You could go to 'D' & go up if that's closer! 
Only kiddin, it seems to be an irritatingly missing feature as previous SEs had it 
Edit: So some do it? Added in firmware?
I don't have one with me so can't test for certain till about 16.00

@slass, that certainly doesn't work on my R2L which is the latest firmware for my unbranded phone

Set 'call contact' as shortcut, se u could search for the whole name instead of a j, k, b whatever.

Okay, then it looks like it will be out in next official version.
(The other contacts don't dissapear as I think they do on Nokia, but the one in focus is changed).
I tried it on a S700 and a V800, and it works exactly like in my K700. |

I took a picture of it. I've just pressed "J", "E" and "S" in the phonebook, and the focus has moved to Jesper. The letters are written in the upper left corner.

GEORGIA REBEL;
The letters also come in the right corner...
On the right side the letter I'm about to write comes (like when nr 2 is pressed, ABCxxx2 is in the right corner).
On the left side are the whole word.
In my example, when pressing nr5, JKL5 is in right corner, J in left. Now pressing nr3 two times, DEFx3 is in right corner, JE in left and so on.
Just that the letters in right corner dissapear very quick, so I didn't catch them on the photo. |

Cool, so it looks like finally this will be available in the next firmware. Where did you get R2Y from anyways? |

I used to have a T610 about a year ago. To filter by multiple characters, you have to use Call Contact or Find contact (can't remember whihc one), I had set that one up a my left key short cut and it used to work fine.
On another note, the T610 had a 510 lines limitation on contacts, you couldnt have more than 510 numbers, and I used to have to select contacts from my Outllok individually in the sync s/ware to sync with the T610, the rest stayed behind on the comptuer only. Does the K700 have the same limitation?. |
