- When entering a new contact via the home screen I notice it saves the number entered as the work number, is there any way to change this default to, say mobile?
I don't always, heck hardly ever enter a new contact by going to the address book first. Normally I get their number and then enter their name.Last edited by ERDude; 05-20-08 at 12:32 AM.

- Yes, it does get annoying. I usually wind up syncing twice once to get the info on the computer and once again after placing the number in the correct place.05-20-08 12:41 AMLike 0

- I just bought the 9700 and it no longer sets the text message contact as mobile... Very Frustrating!!!01-13-10 09:23 PMLike 0

- Automatic 'number type' for new contacts
- Multiple alarms
- Glitch in conversation-style SMS (where an old message shows as being 'received one minute ago' days later & won't go away)
Hopefully, if enough of us email them, they'll realise people who buy their phones care about the details!04-20-10 08:06 AMLike 0 - Yet you commented anyway. Is it comments like this that got you that "genius of geniuses" title? Cause if so, I'll ask the newbs for advice instead of the gogs.
Aside from that, this is very frustrating, and you would think in this day and age that 90% of bb users aren't calling colleagues at work, they're calling them on their mobile phones. Drop down would be great. I had phones asking me where to put numbers years ago, but OS 5.? can't do it? Quick one for whoever said the Bold doesn't save to mobile from text. Is it just the Bold, or all OS 5 phones? if you know.07-13-10 09:03 PMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired Mod
Hopefully that "vent" made you feel better
is simply ludicrous. The default to "Work" is a holdover from RIMs original roots.
That is the majority of users were business users so that made sense as the default.
Also, mobile phones were not as readily available so the option did not make sense
then. Should they have changed that? Yes and I have made that point a million times.
Will they? Who knows?
No argument here but unfortunately it is a limitation we ALL have to live with.07-13-10 09:56 PMLike 0 - I don't know if this will help, but someone on another forum suggested Mobihand.com's "Add Number As" software. As much as an annoyance this feature may be, it might be worth $2.95 (or at least a free trial).07-20-10 12:11 PMLike 0
