Well, first of all, I waited until the old phone broke because I didn't know what to do for fear I'd loose critical info in Outlook.
This time around I copied the company name into the first name field.
And then I prayed a lot.
Somehow I didn't end up with 200 numbers with no identifying info. Don't ask me how. I'm just grateful to the cell phone gods.
I even found a few stray ones that I had missed copying the company name and corrected those. I didn't end up with duplicates.
For the Dear So and So thread:
Dear Nokia Software Programmers, has it dawned on you yet that we look up phone numbers by both personal name and company name? It would help if your software would accomodate this, I know, way super very unique way of storing data.
It's a good day. I even managed to insert a new card and copy maps to the GPS withonly 3 panic emails to Veronica.

No, but I liked it anyway.

Thanks, Trek, but . . . . .
1) I was changing carriers, and
2) I didn't want to transfer the data from the old phone because I would have had about 200 numbers with no company name attached.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
