SIM contacts in Phone.

[miazza]

Hello people

with my touch cruise I have a small but annoying problem.

I have all the SIM contacts in the phone together with the normal contacts and this creates double contacts.

I have tried to modify the register HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone --> Show Sim from 1 to 0 and this works great only in the contacts.

When I access the phone and look for contact by using the Smart Diealing, I continue to have double the contacts that is very annoying.

Is there any work around to solve this issue ?


thanks for helping

Only way around this known to me is to delete contacts from SIM.

Which, IMHO, is not a bad thing - SIM is very limited regarding data it can store for each contact. And you will regulary make backups/syncs, right? ;)

Yes. U R right but the SIM is the only safe back-up I have.
Anyhow I will follow your suggestion. The risk is worth :rolleyes:.

It remains a silli limitation for a mobile so advanced and with a SO on board.

Thanks for the assistance.

Regarding SIM being only backup.... you do have SD card in your Polaris?

I'm using PIM Backup (scheduled) to auto-backup daily all contacts, messages and tasks to my SD card. Then you only have a matter of copying those backups to your PC, CD, DVD... whatever...
It's freeware and fits my needs for unattended backup.

Of course, I do also have a sync with Outlook... ;)
