Hello Christina, Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to determine the status of your contacts. As far as the labeling of buttons goes, I have had the same experience, i.e. I have had to relabel them a second time. Sorry for not being more helpful and best regards, Mike

Thanks. Yeah, I can't seem to get the labels to "stick". I've labeled them several times and they still don't want to stay. Oh well. Well, at least I know there seems to be no easy way to find out someone's status. I thought I was missing something. but I guess I'm not. Thanks, Chris

Go to the menu bar, to Call, and the second to the bottom item should be "view call list." It's a table, so interact with it and there you are then. Mark BurningHawk Baxter Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ --~

The mega picsal rating on the phone means a lot when it comes to OCr. Think of it this way. The higher the megapicsal rate, the clearer the photo that is taken. Therefore the easier it is for the OCR / scanning software to more correctly interpret the text it is attempting to recognise. T
