I agree with these faults, re the menu I am sure it just takes time to get
used to.

My phone does show elapsed time during a call. Go to LOG - OPTIONS -
SETTINGS - You have two settings in there, Log Duration and Show Call
Duration. Change Show Call Duration to Yes.

Some of my pet pet peeves with the phone so far -

Cell Info Wraps to the next line after 10 letters - the screen is wide
enough to have it on one line. In Australia the cell names are up to 11 so
the last letter is under the 10th letter.
If you have a profile chosen it shows where the date normally goes.
Putting in contacts - I have not figures out how to easily change the icons
on a number without putting the number in again - ie from a phone to a
mobile. On others you just went - Change Type.
Putting an address in yakes up multiple lines - Street, City etc but when
you get a business card with an address it shows up under 1  entry - Letter
Icon called address. Can not get that entering manually.
Can not edit Phone book entries using the Phone Suite software. Would be
much easier.
Have a corrupt ringtone on the phone memory - I can rename it but it will
not open,delete or move. Just comes up with an error. Someone suggested I
would have to format the memory.


Apart from these there are some great features such as

Individual ring tones for each contact if you choose
Unlimited groups
Edit Labels in Contacts
THumbnails next to name during call
The Log showing all calls,SMS, is great. Easily to work out which support
calls, duration etc I get over a period of time.




I have Version 3.42.1 16-10-03. Is this the latest version?
