    I have had the sprint curve for a little while now. I thought the address book on it was normal until I saw one of my friends blackberries. His address book does not show the name of the company that the contact works for, its just lists the contacts name. I would prefer it to be like that, otherwise there is just a white space below the contacts name. Any help would be much appreciated, I could not find the proper setting on my device and I also tried searching the forums but to no avail.

    Perhaps he was still using OS 4.3? As far as I know, there is no way to change that.

    He was on a different network then me, not sure which but I want to say AT&T and i think he had an older os, I don't think he was on 4.5. Im pretty sure he was using the 8310 but I was hoping there was a way to do that on the 8330. Thanks for your help though

    The difference is between the OS versions. OS 4.5 and newer have that company line that no one has come up with a way to hide.

    AT&T's 8310 Curve is running 4.2 out of the box which is a lower version than the Sprint 8330 OS.

    The AT&T version list company names out to the side of the persons name, which IMHO is less appealing than the way Sprint does it. AT&T's version also does not have a place for the contacts birthday.

    You can go to your address book, select menu, and then options, and decide to seperate the names by lines, stripes, or none. I like "Stripes" the best.

    Ya, a 8310 out of the box from ATT will only have one line per contact. OS 4.5 forces each contact to have a name and company line regardless if there's a company for that contact or not, which completely sucks. I so hope the next OS update fixes this.

    I actually like the fact that it shows the company name. I think that is better and an added extra bonus in your/our favor. I do not believe you can change that setting
