They are as brilliant - you just did not look in the right place.

||
||| Hi
||
||| I have just bought a new mobile phone (details above)
||
||| Is there any way to get the contacts to show first name first?
||| (it only has the options of "View by Name or view by Company"
||| and "Name" turns out to mean the "Save as" field in Outlook2003 on
||| my PC .
||
||| I am stunned by how basic the Contacts manager on my phone is.
||
||| Failing the above, is there any way to update all my conacts on my
||| PC so that their "Save As" values start with First name? (At
||| present, about half do and
||| about half do not - this makes it impossible to know whether to look
||| up a contact
||| by last name or by first name!)
||
||| Failing all the above - can anyone recommend any vastly superior
||| contacts
||| and calender software for a Windows Mobile Pro 6 device that is able
||| to
||| reliably synch with my Outlook on my PC?
