Mismatched? Didn't happen to me... Can you discern any pattern? What accounts do you have on your address book (skype, facebook, ...)?

There is a bug with the current implementation of the QtMobility (1) where all the images get reduced to 64x64. I had to enlarge them back to 120x120 (standard size for the address book) in order to see how it would look like with real images.

Yes, right now is a "dumb" algorithm but I have to say that I already like it better than having all the numbers without any separation (like on the standard application). I have international phone numbers with +, some phone numbers with area code and some without on my cell. Some countries have 3 digit prefix (e.g. US), some have 4 (e.g. Brazil) and the international code is not standard (it can be 1,2,3,4 or even more digits long) so it is a little more complicated to format them that one would hope.

Yes, again I agree. I did not take much time fine tuning it because it all can be done on the cellphone by change css files. One of the things I tried was using the "Droid" fonts and it looks really good. One should be able to customize all the colors, font, images by just changing css files.

Thank you! That is the kind of feed back I am looking for.

I do want at least to support grouping. I have just about 300 contacts on my phone and already take me a long time to find some. I don't know if the current implementation of the backend supports creating custom fields - I will have to check, but if does, I don't see why we can't have both.... In order to use the ring tones that is more exploration that needs to be done.

What do you mean if the contacts support portrait? The application should support portrait mode (with or without autorotation). Didn't it work for you? On the portrait mode you even have a virtual keyboard.

I did not release the code because it is quite "work in progress" and very "unstable"....

Please feel free to contact me directly if you need anything and I will try to help. I also try to keep up with the maemo-developers list and help when I can... It is a great "place"!

I have not yet tested your program but what do you mean that in official contacts it takes long time find? It has type to search functionality.

When I don't know with what name I filed someone or just don't want to have to use the keyboard.

I call 90% of the time maybe 10 people. Probably will never call some of the contacts and some other just once in a lifetime. I wanted a very simple/quick way to call some few people... on my previous phone I would just hold the 3 on my numeric keyboard and call my wife on her cell. That is what I am aiming for... and not just find the right contact but also use the right (more obvious) way of contacting it. This version does little to address this issues but that is one of my goals.

Just an idea.
On my palm centro i have installed a software called Initiate with SmartSearch functionality for all kind of software, contacts, music, notes etc.

From the description:
Yout type "JSM". This will list John Smith, Jason Moore and James Storm.

This is really very handy!

Regards, davall

SyncEvolution works with Google Contacts. I've been using it for a while now.

I appreciate what you are doing but I still have to ask
You can make contact shortcuts to your desktop.IIRC there is enough room in one desktop for 10 contacts. But I do understand that speed dial from numbers on traditional mobile phone is faster but thatīs bit different device.

Yes, you can and I do like/use them. My original goal was/is actually to write a home applet to replace the contacts shortcuts. This application is a sub product of the exercise.

I am still working on the home applet but as now it takes one entire desktop and has 15 avatars (and maybe even a "small mode" with smaller icons), allow grouping (more than one page of 15 shortcuts) but most important I want to contact a person, in most of the cases, without actually getting to the "contact page".

The user will be able to select the default method of contact for each shortcut (call home, send sms, ... ) and the application should help deciding if should (can) call using the gsm modem or skype depending on some rules (you are connected to skype or not, you are on 3g mode or not, it is a local or international phone number) ... so with one click (or maybe a double tap) you will be able to call someone.

Also I think the "contact" page on the "standard" contacts application can use some improvement. I don't like the "call" and "call with skype" as separate sections, I think the "detail header" (Phone, e-mail, ...) is not as important as the actual number, I like little larger fonts, I would like to see the phone number better formatted so I can easily identify the number, ...

It is all a matter of personal preferences but I think that is what having options is all about. On the same note I also like the idea that one can change the skin on my application - maybe with some screen shots and instructions it will make more sense... it is quite fun/flexible.

By the way thank you for asking... that is the only way to make sure that one does not reinvent the wheel without any benefit

Is there a way to set the default outgoing caller account to something other than Cell? I use Skype for all of my outgoing calls. Calls through my carrier cost $0.30/minute and I have to remember to change the call type to skype every time I make a call.
