When I receive a call, for example, the way the number display's is like this:

but it should be like this
510-555-5555
how do I get it to appear like that? Even in the address book there's no dashes. What do now?
all other Nokia unlocked phones behave the same. Unless you have a US Carrier branding on it it will not change.
May be some intelligent developer can change the numeric UI in phone other than that there is not option.

Brainstorm is a good idea -- soon as I can figure out why it's not accepting my login, I'll try to figure out how to create one

I agree it would be nice to have a more readable display of numbers. It might be tricky to work out a universal solution, though, as different countries have different formats. For example, in the UK we use spaces not dashes.

What's the logic behind the - anyway?
Start from right and go left, add a - after 4 digits, then one every 3 digits?
And how do you transform 5453422343 to 5105555555 in the first place?

)they have a consistent scheme with their phone numbers and are used to writing them down that way.

i don't know about other regions.
