Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

I think I will go back MS2 just for the simple reason that they had a proprietary contacts search Icon and link (I think it was named SPB Contacts) that is not in MS3. I will call it the EASY search. It was great on MS2 to use the phone pad type style to do a search even with one hand. Why did they not include this with MS3? This icon was in the Organizer folder that is titled Contacts. If you customized this folder you could also add the contacts link from Windows mobile you would have two contacts Icons but different ways to view. The Win Mobile one you have to use the keyboard to search which is a pain. Now to get to the same EASY search with MS3 you have to open the 1)contacts,2)far right phone key,3)Search,4)Right soft key,5)Open Contact,6)Notes.
With 2500 contacts on MS2 I could just go to 1)Contact,2)Search,3)Notes.
I am looking up my 2500 contacts and my notes on them all day so this one feature will keep me on MS2! Too many key presses.
Maybe I'm missing something but I need that quick search function.
I think in older SPB 2.0 it used to be called SPB Contacts.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

Tiger505.....itouch24 is correect, if you press the contact icon on the bottom of the screen (one of the middle two), it will bring you to the main contact screen. From there, press the icon on the bottom looking like a person with a phone on it, and that is the search function your looking for. Works just as well as it did in MS2.

edit.....guess everyone chimed in on that one LOL!!!!

In addition if you leave one of the photo contact links as open, it will take you to the search screen when pressed.

When I tried that it did take me to the search screen, but then all it did was add the contact when I selected it... maybe I was missing something there.

Instead I copied the [Spb Contacts].lnk from the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Spb Mobile Shell folder into the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder and was then able to add it as an application widget and go straight to the search screen in one click.

Speaking of which, did anyone else notice that the Spb Mobile Shell folder doesn't show up when you try to add an application widget?

Thanks for this info I'll try that. For all that told me about going to Contacts then far right "man with phone"...yes that does take you to search. But to get to see the notes on that contact you have to go to the right softkey then press "Open contact" then go to Notes. Seems like a lot of key presses to me. I like the SPB Contacts button in MS2 as it was a 2 step process.
Maybe I'm just not seeing this quick way somewhere else, I do have CRS.

Ha, sorry about that, I saw the search screen and made a bad assumption. Great idea about adding it as an application.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!

Don't know if this is answered already just want a quick answer before I go shopping with g/f. Is there a way to turn off MS3 or even switch back to TF? Playing around with it so it will keep me occupied through this torture
