Nokia phone help- search by Company

[Woz]

Right my old Win mobile PDA phone has gone tits up so I've got a little Nokia to replace it (it's a 2760 and so far, it's been miles better).

Anyway.

I have 500 contacts but the new Nokia doesn't recognise the Company field and just displays a number and no name. So Aquanauts comes up as a number in the list.

Anyone got any good ideas how to get the bloody thing to display the company name so I know who I'm calling?

Woz,

can you export the contact database from the PDA? (or if it was already sync'ed with outlook) if so then you shoukd be able to then import to the new nokia using the nokia PC suite.

(i'm not sure if the nokia will display company name fields though)

Failing that then using the nokia PC suite you could manually rename your contacts adding the company line in either the surname or forename fields.

Already synced with Outlook. Had to do the workaround you suggested:

Export Outlook contacts to Excel
Get excel to put company name as lastname
Import to Outlook
Delete all contacts from phone
Synch with phone

It worked but it's a bodge. What a palaver.
