Re: Resorting Contacts?

But, like I said I don't know if it works the same way on the Omnia.
The Omnia treats contacts a bit differently than most other phones I've seen. There are actually 2 contact lists on the Omnia. One you can indeed type in to filter a name. I think it is just the default windows mobile contact list.

The other is an Omnia "Phonebook" that is essentially another contacts list that is NOT type-friendly.

Also, another quirk, the Omnia phonebook does not seem to recognize "&". For example, it shows "Mom & Dad" as "Mom _Dad". A bit annoying, because the windows contact list DOES recognize the &.

Surely there's something out there that will do this...
