Hi,
I could easily change the labels/fields in contacts in earlier Nokia devices but cannot in N900.
For example: If i wanted to change "Mobile (home)" to "Mobile (New York)" for a contact, i could easily do that in earlier Nokia phones. I tried in N900 but can't seem to do that!
Unfortunately I doubt this is going to be changed by Nokia and my understanding is the phone application is closed so don't think it can be fixed by the community.
It is not just an issue with the N900 though. N97 has the same issue and so I suspect all the recent Nokia phones. Not sure why Nokia chose to take such a huge step backwards.

I was very disappointed...!
Can we add this feature to our list of improvements which we have in our maemo.org website?
