Address book problems

Hoping you guys can help me....
Normally if I want to txt or make a call, I just type in the name or the first letter and then I scroll down to the preferred contact. But recently, when I type the contact's name I just get the first contact with the letter. E.g if I want to contact mum I just type m and I get all contacts beginning with m but now I only get like Mary which is the first contact with m and that's it. Really confused! If this helps am using a curve(8300). Pls help!!!
Any answers are always appreciated. Thanks

When you type the full name.. mum, does it show up at all. My other question is do you synchronize your bb with a computer using Desktop Manager?

are these people saved in your address book or your sim card ?

if they are on the sim card and not the address book load your sim phone book this might help

i think they are on the sim. it normally works, its only recently that is playin about.

I had the same problem for a while. I can't remember exactly what would happen but it was something like described above. I would even type the whole first name and it would like freeze for a while till I scrolled or hit menu. Then all of a sudden it would pop up all contacts matching what I typed. Just like above, it just magically started working and I have not had any problems since.

Kinda curious p1nklady, what was the problem and how did you correct it?

Err to be honest I don't know. It was just that my preffered contact won't show when I type in the name but all of a sudden its gone back to normal.
Hope am making sense :-)
