I'm sure I have seen this on here before but for the life of me I can't find it, not with forum search nor Google either.

I had a missed call on my landline from a mobile. I wanted to check who it was from before returning the call and needed a way to check my contacts list on my N900. I am fairly certain there was a small command or script that could be used to enter all or part of the number and get a match.

Anyone remember this or give me a pointer?

You can use my scout application to search for phonenumbers
in your address book.

Was the caller in your contacts? They should show up, or was it someone not in your contacts?
There was/is a service that would reverse look up any # that your phone recieved, called Beartrap, it would give CID INFO even blocked #'s as well as regional info country,city,state,province. Remember doing a trial of it and it was ok.

AgentZ - the call was on my landline, I got the number but didn't know who it was, so I wanted to check my N900 contacts first just in case they were there.

Nicolai - thanks, will try that out right now!

Just tried "scout" and it works a treat! Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks Nicolai!

i have been wanting a plugin or something that will tell me where the city and state is if that number is not in my address book. which again by the iphone is beautifully done.

privus mobile is a great product. worked wonders on my nokia e90! too bad it doesnt work for the n900!
