Windows mobile drawback. Any recommendations?

[Guest za3boto]

Before I bought my Omnia (my 1st windows mobile device), I always used nokia phones with symbian s60 OS (Nokia 6600, Nokia 6120 classic, and the latest was Nokia N82).

The feature I miss the most about the symbian os is the ability to add a caller or contact group, then add members to this group by checking the box next to the required contacts names and adding the checked contacts at once to this group, you can also assign a specific ringtone to the caller group and it automatically applies to all the members belonging to this group. You can also set your phone profile to alert you only to a specific group members, for example VIP group members, while the rest of your callers will be silent not rejected (the phone will recieve the call but won't ring).

Is there anyway to do that on my Omnia? I do know there's a "category" field for each contact, but you'll have to manually edit each contact one by one, and that will be the extent of it, you can't assign a ringtone to a category, or choose to let the phone alert you only to members of this category. Any ideas guys? For moments there I really consider switching my Omnia for a Nokia E71!!! Don't let me do that, pleaseeee!!!
