iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11 as a free software update via iTunes® 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers
There will be no data loss in an upgrade (unless you have a jailbroken phone).
The current iPhone is no longer for sale (can only get used/aftermarket ones).
Best to wait for iPhone 3G in July.

There is a option under contact edit area that allows you to add company name...
1. Open contact
2. Press left menu button
3. Select edit
4. Scroll down until you see Organization
5. Click little arrow to right and input information for comapany name..
6. Save
2) Be able to search on phone by company name?
1. Open Google Search
2. Press left menu button
3. Search Settings
4. Searchable Items
5. Check Contacts
After doing this you can search by voice with Google Search or while on home page or phone you can press and hold the left menu button until keyboard shows and then start typing name and it will search all search areas including contacts..

Search contacts by last name

I have recently deployed a new BB Pearl 9100 to a user that is attached to a BES server w/ MS Exchange 2003. This is the users first blackberry coming from a Nokia device. They are used to viewing their contacts by typing in the first character of the contacts last name such as "S" for 'John Smith" and all contacts whose last name starts with "S" are displayed.
On the current BB 9100 I can change the sort option on the phone by going to Contacts | Options | Contact Display and Actions | Sort By: Last Name. But when the user searches the contacts and types the letter "S" for 'John Smith' on the Blackberry, the user is shown all contacts that contain the letter "S" (first name, last name, or company). I know that you can type"SMI" to narrow your query but is there a function on the device or a BES policy that can be applied to display/search for contacts in the manner that they are used to?
Any help is appreciated.

they can maybe change the name to SmithJohn.

C2-01-Contact Search using First Name

Hello,
Could someone please advise me on how to set the phone to show Contact/Names on first name basis. Currently it was set to Last Name, so whenever I seach I need to search last name.
My old phone allows me search on first name basis but I can no longer find the setting on C2-01.
You advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

great.!!!! But the search result is having a company partner.
Why is it empty most of the time even a company partner is maintained.
And let me ask about customer contact - account management and contact- -
For this, the company partner is always empty.

Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts? Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

Help! I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine. My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways. If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates. Now I have triplicates!! I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts. How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list. NOT HAPPY!! Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up. Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them? I end up not knowing what number to use. It's extremely frustrating!!

When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on. If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory. Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted. Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup. Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

File contacts by Last Name or Company Name.

On MobileMe you where able to file contacts by Last Name or Company Name. Not able to do that in iCloud. Is there someway to do that?

Rafael is correct in that the old Mobile Me, you could choose by individual contact whether the entry was sorted by Company or last name (or first name?). There are many business contacts where I may not remember the account reps name. I want the item sorted by company but have the acct reps name included.
Now with iCloud they are overriding that option. You can only have it sort by Business Name if there is no individual's name in the contact info.
This is the common complaint that supoprts that Apple still doesn't get the Business aspect of using the software.
Here they had the feature and someone removed it.

Searching Vietnamese Name in Contact List

Hi,
I've just used BB10 (10.3.0.x) for Q10) for a week, and I have an issue about Searching Vietnamese Name in Contact List:
In BBOS, if I wanna search Vietnamese Name (ex: Đoàn), I just type "Doan"
But in BB10, I must type proper Vietnamese Name (ex: "Đoàn", not "Doan") to get the correct result.
Could you please show me how to fix this issue ?
Thanks and Best Regards.

Update: this issue occurs when Compose SMS, not in Phone or Contact List

Need to search contacts by last name

I need to know how I can only search the contacts by last name. As it is right now, it search last name and first name. I only need the last name.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Sprint)

I am not sure I understand you? Do you mean when using the search function (Option key and magnifier) or when using the lookup function in the Phone, SMS and MMS applications?
In the case of the Lookup function, I described how to use last name only in that context.
In the case of Find, you cannot limit the field to which the search applies. You can only control the order of application databases to seach. It will search the database of the currently open application first. If you need a more advanced Find, I recommend www.intelligentfind.com.

Sort contacts by last name, not phonetic last name

When I try to sort my Contacts by "Last, First", iOS (version 5 on iPhone 4) actually sorts them by Phonetic last name, then phonetic first name. I have populated the Phonetic names of some people with deceptive name spellings so I can voice dial them, but obviously want them to sort by their actual listed spelling—silent letters and all. Is there a way to work around this problem or is this an Apple bug.

Basic searches for "sort phonetic iphone" turn up LOADS of gripes about the downside of using the phonetic fields (non-alphabetized sorting) which almost certainly outweigh the benefits of same field's use.
Look at these ARCHIVED discussions (TONS of views, no fixes replied with) on Apple's own support forums from YEARS ago. Why hasn't this obvious BUG been addressed in years worth of updates? Come on Apple!
Address Book Alphabetizes Names by Phonetic Spelling
201 Views 0 Replies Latest reply: Feb 1, 2009 2:04 PM by Merged Content 1
When entering a phonetic spelling in Address Book for a Contact's name that is hard to pronounce, Address Book files that Contact by the phonetic spelling instead of their real name. It is very odd to file Contacts this way; most people look up someone's name by the way it is spelled. It is too difficult to remember letters used to aid pronunciation when looking it up. For example, a common Vietnamese name 'Nguyen' is actually pronounced 'wen'. If I enter 'wen' in the phonetic spelling field, I will have to remember to look up Mr. Nguyen under 'W'.
Filing under the contact's real name would be best, but an option could be at least allowing a choice between the real and phonetic name; just like the choice of filing by 'Company' or 'Contact' that Address Book currently has.
Anyone figured a work around for this? I sent Apple feedback on the problem, but it hasn't changed in 3 years.
Address book -- turn off phonetic sorting?

In order to make better use of the iPhone 3GS voice control dialing feature, I have add phonetic representations for some of my contacts. However, when I do this I noticed that the address app sorts these contacts by their phonetic spelling. (For instance the name 'Zhou' is pronounced 'Jo', and is sorted under the letter J).
This seems kind of weird default behavior and should at least be configurable. Anyone know some way to do this?
Thanks

Imported contacts have last name/first name reversed

When I had my old Samsung dumb phone, I listed all my contacts by last name. (There was a single name field in the old phone, so I listed everybody as "Smith, Bob.") But when I had my contacts list imported into my new iphone 5c, it read all the last names as first names and vice versa. (It put "Smith," in the first name field and "Bob" in the last name field.) I know I can choose to sort contacts by last name or first name. But when I choose "Last, First" it lists all my contacts by first name. So now when I enter a new contact directly into the iphone, it's backwards from everything else.
What am I supposed to do here? Am I just supposed to keep entering contacts backwards for as long as I have this phone? Or is there some sort of app or setting to fix this?

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

HT204150 Cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook.

I cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook. The error messages are generic. This is an issue, since most companies do not have a dedicated name to go to. iCloud was always bad with contacts with no name. The issue has gotten worse. Also, this is a defect, since before you could do this, and now you can do this in iPhone and web iCloud. This is one of many issues introduced by iCloud 3.

I now find these USA type errors are only on the Address Book that comes up on my iMac when I go to iCloud.com possibly because the iMac does not support iCloud
My iPad and iPhone4 seem to be syncing OK re Contacts on iCloud EXCEPT I have Duplicates and on my iPad I can see one Group relates to "iPad" while the second or Duplicates relates to " Unified"
Is there any way via my iPad that I can eliminate all Contacts from this "Unified" Group and thereby eeliminate the Duplicates?

I've upgraded iphone to ios6 and text messaging doesn't recognize my frequ. used contacts unless I go into contacts, find the name, etc. -- tedious. what happened? and how can it be fixed. I tried to reset the settings, turned the phone off/ on.

I cannot initiate a text message by typing in the first couple of letters of a name (from my contacts) and the then the name being recognized. Have to go into Contacts, then select name -- tedious. I've tried to reset it, turned the phone on/ off and changed Sort Order, Display Order but nothing has changed. I've updated to the io6. Any thoughts??

Hi,
Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

After updating to IOs 5.0, my contacts updated in name only, not the information. Has anyone else seen this?

After updating to iOS 5.0 on my iPad2, my contacts updated in name only, the information (addresses, phones, etc.) is blank. Has anyone else seen this? The cloud has all the contact information intact.

No, no replies yet. Fortunately, I have all my contacts backed-up on Google. I haven't lost the data, just need to merge into my iPad contacts. Good luck with your call to Apple.

Search By Name function is NOT WORKING.

Before reading further, PLEASE take note of this: I have ALREADY installed the "Search By Name" add-on, and it DOES NOT WORK. As such, PLEASE do not suggest that add-on as a fix to my issue, since that add-on IS my issue.
I was using Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to upgrade to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, the Search by Name function has stopped working, i.e.: I used to be able to type "yahoo" into the address bar and go straight to yahoo; now, when I type anything that is not a complete URL into the address bar, it goes to allied.com. I have already gone into about:config and changed keyword:URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and have also installed the Search By Name add-on. Neither of these work. Please help me.

Does that setting of the keyword.URL pref stay?
