Multiple contacts with same Home number

[Guest freeloader]

Hi

I'm having difficulties with the contacts system on Windows Mobile 5.0.

I have multiple contacts with the same Home Number but when a call is made from that number, the phone picks one of them (probably by reverse alphebetical order) as the person calling.

I've tried setting up an extra contact, just with a plain Home number in it, hoping the contact system will favor that one when someone calls from that number.

Anyone got any solutions to this problem?

I wish you could just open a popup on that home contact and set it as higher priority.

Since I'm posting, I might aswell also ask when resolution is optimal for a contact photo? (so there's less re-sizing involved).

I know it's little consolation, but the home number picking one name isn't a WM5 thing - it's the same on WM2003SE and (I'm pretty sure) WM2002 for Smartphone too.

Guess it's on the "WM6" fixes pile.... ;)

So, there are no solutions? Bummer.

I believe it shows the first contact it finds with the number so if you want a particular name to be displayed you could use the old DOS trick of renaming with a number in front - it should work (although I've not tried it miself.

This is not just a WM thing, it's why most people I know didn't take upthe ICE (in case of Emergency) idea - if you did ICE tended to be displayed when your nearest or dearest rang!
