N97 unable to make a call from contacts list

Question

Hey, I was looking for some confirmation from others about this. I tried to make a call this morning by doing exactly what I would do on my E71 or N95 when a contact has multiple numbers:
1) Opened up my contacts.
2) Clicked a contact with multiple numbers, that already had a default one set.
3) The main contact screen pops up that shows you the picture of the person and gives you 4 options of things to do.
4) Because I wanted to call one of the other phone numbers, not the default one, I clicked the tab at the top that shows you all the contact information you have for said contact.
5) I then clicked the number I wanted and then clicked the call button.
6) Nothing happened. I kept clicking it thinking it didn't register and still nothing happened.
I tried this for 6 other contacts who have multiple numbers with defaults, and I even tried it with contacts who had only one number. I'm not allowed to make a call that way. The only way to make a phone call to a contact with multiple numbers is to not have any defaults set so when I go to step (3) above, I have to click "Voice call" and then select the number I want to call.
This **bleep** me off like nothing else after I discovered this. So before I go have a pleasant conversation with someone from Nokia I just wanted to know if this is the same for everybody else.
Thanks.
Nokia N97-3

I really wish consumers in the US knew about the power of the Nseries and Eseries lines, instead of living in the carrier bubble that they do.
My list of Nokia's past and present: 3360, 6500 Slide, N75 (sold), N95-3, E71-2, N97-3

Hi there,
Similar issue can up with MMS/SMS'ing to non-default numbers (Clicky...)
You need to use the same process, ie...
Open Contacts >> Open the contact you wish to phone >> With Voice Call selected click "options"  >>  "Select other number" >> then just pick the number you want to call.
Slightly easier than SMS/MMS'ing as Voice Call is at the top of the list so selected by default
Hope this helps
