It looks like the contacts app in Gingerbread no longer has support for editing contacts birthdays. I know this is a minor thing but is there any way to reinstate this?

I could've sworn it could be done in one of the earlier CM firmwares. If it is the case and I'm simply mis-remembering then it's pretty stupid. The contacts app on my Galaxy Tab will do it, so it's just Googles own contacts app that won't.

Maybe I was editing it when I was playing around with a MIUI firmware and that's why I'm confused?

I might have to dig out an older CM fw and have a nosy just so I know if I'm going crazy or not.

I would love it that the contacts app world let you enter and edit birthdays and and reminders to your calendar like winmo did. My only option right now is outlook on the desktop with google calendar sync.

If you've run Sense ROMs, that may have been where you saw the feature.

No need to be so hard on yourself ;)
