I have the same problem.
In Portugal, we call people by first name/last name.
Anybody knows how to fix it?

I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.

If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)

The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.

However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.

In contacts, press the contacts and it appears a new item in Menu in order to make first name, last name
