HTC People app-logic is... interesting

[amang2205]

If you take a close look at the HTC People application, you'll see that the information regarding a contact is diveded into two:
- first, you have the actions category, which let's you call a contact on any of his numbers, send him a message, show him on a map (considering you have an address - either home or work) etc.
- the you have the information category, which is a general category. information such as birthday and anniversary is shown here.

now, my question is: why is there absolutely no information regarding the company he is working for in the information tab, or at least somewhere under his name in the upper area of the window?

surely, HTC support suggested that I should buy an app from the Marketplace that will show this kind of information... Now really, can it be that hard to show the company name in the information category?

Do you know whether there is a way of selecting what information to show on the screen when I'm opening HTC People, in the Contact details tab?

Yes, I do. There is no way of doing this.

All you do is click "Edit contact" and it shows you more information, including company details.

Well, that's just not right! Why do I have to make extra clicks and taps in order to get a very relevant information like this?

Anyway, does anyone know if there's a way of showing the Company name in the details tab of HTC People?

I know you don't like it, but I've already told you that this can't be done. 1 extra click is hardly going to end your life!

These devices are designed with what the manufacturer believes to be the most commonly sought features as the most easily available. You simply want something that they did not think was as important as you do. There will also be things on the phone that you'll look at and think "what's that for - it's pointless", but to others it will be a very important feature. Just accept that it does not do this 1 tiny thing - it'll make the experience much more pleasurable
