 |  Trouble finding contacts by Company I'm not sure of the proper terminology for this, but I've got my "List by Company, Name" set in my contacts preferences. When I type in a company name, I get nothing. I have to type in the name of the contact to get the company listing. If I can't remember who the contact is, then the only way I can find the company listing is to do a search. Is this normal for a 650? I used to use Takephone on my 600 to get around this. |

| I bet you are using the built-in application. Are you a heavy phone user? Take a look at TakePhone - it has bunches of search options for searching the contacts database. Ben

| Or you could try the built-in Global Find: While in contacts, press the Option key and then Shift/Find. Enter the company name. Keep in mind this will search everything and returns results listed by application. Takes a moment too, but not long at all. SteveTaz

| I use TakephOne now, but when I did use the built-in Contacts app, if I had a contact with a company name, I would enter the entire company name in the Last name field of the contact, then in the First name field I would enter the entire name of the person. If you are hotsyncing with the Palm Desktop, this does not make a difference, but when I started hotsyncing with Outlook I could not do that any longer, as Outlook also manages my email on my PC (which would screw up my address book for email). That is when I bought TakephOne and it was a very good move. I don't think you will regret that purchase.

| I did the global find thing for a while and when I switched to TakePhone, I found it to be better due to its indexing capability. 2Day also integrates with TakePhone in the search thing. Ben
