Sort by first name? Battery level indicator? Call Forward?

[Henkon]

Hi,
Got a brand new QTek 2020/Pocket PC. Syncs to my mac with PocketMac. Seems overall great but there are (?) also some incredible annoying things regarding the most basic features:

1. Can't decide number of rings/time before forwarding calls to voicemail.
Way too quick now. (However one feature lets you decide how many signals before automatic pick-up/microphone on)

2. Can't sort contacts by FIRST name (Only LAST or COMPANY).

3. No visible battery level in basic view. You need to tap your way into SETTINGS.
(It warns however when battery gets very low - Too late in most cases)
It consumes alot of battery so this feature is very crucial to me.
What's the deal not making this visible like on all other ever existing mobile phones in the whole wide world???

If anyone have some ideas and tips regarding this I would be very thankful.

Best/ Henkon

Hi

I thought there was a way to determine how many rings before voicemail, but it would seem there isn't, just about auto answer as you say.

Regarding contacts, if you look in Outlook I bet all your contacts are saved as Last, First. If you change these to First Last then they will store in first name order - plus it looks an awful lot tidier!

There is a crude batt level indicator if you tap the time in the top right corner, but also there are numerous programs that can amongst other things show a battery level indicator on your Today screen. I use PocketPlus but there are LOTS of others, just look in pocketgear, handandgo or one of the freeware options.

The XDA (specifically II) is a great piece of kit, but unfortunately MS / o2 do not provide as many phone functions as perhaps they should. The good thing about these phones is that you can get your own software (or even write it!) to fill these gaps.

I'd still rather have my II than any of the other phones I've had...and I've had quite a few.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
