Is there a way to change the sort options for the contacts list? I hate my contacts being listed last name, first name. I don't use most of my contacts last names and it is easier for me to find them when they are listed by first name. Any settings on the ppc for this, or does it require another program?

I'm not sure how contacts work on the Omnia, but on my 800w I have all of my contacts sorted Last,First. However, I can simply start typing the first name and it starts filtering based on that, so it's really not an issue how I have my contacts sorted. But, like I said I don't know if it works the same way on the Omnia.

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...
