Question re 6120 classic Address & Contact format

Help help help please help. When opening address book & using Alpha key to locate contact,the menu assumes that you want the surname first ? not the first name in the memory. To me this doesn't make sense. I can't work out how to change this format. If I can't, I'll have to change umpteen dozen contacts.
ie --- bob home or bob mob etc.
Menu assumes home or mob is surname??? Weird.
Naturally impatient Telstra shop staff fob you of by saying you can't do anything about it. Can't be right can it ?.

Not confusing... yes you do need to do that manually.
And you need to transfer all the numbers from your SIM card to your BlackBerry Address Book, too.
Then, you could sync the BlackBerry to Outlook or Outlook Express and do the editing there. Much easier.

  • Nokia C3 contacts format

    I intend to buy Nokia C3 and presently I am using Nokia 6120 Classic.  I have a little concern about the the format of Contacts / Address Book.
    My query is that can I manage to move or copy my old contacts of Nokia 6120 to Nokia C3 ? If so how is the way for this process ?

    Three ways i think,
    1.Copy your contacts to your sim and move it to your nokia c3.
    2.Sync your phone to ovi sync.
    3. Use ovi suite.

  • How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view?

    How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view  & get rid of the stupid fake leather and same for iCal?

    I asked the same question at the Apple Genius Bar a week or so ago and they said there was no way to change it.  I am with you - do not like this new format at all and would love it if Apple would offer both -maybe when they do an "fix" next?  This was one change in Lion that should not have been made from Snow Leopard.  I am really sorry I upgraded at this point.

  • How do I view maps on the 6120 classic?

    Hi all.
    I have downloaded Nokia Map loaders and installed it on both the 6120 and the PC. I have also downloaded Nokia Maps and installed them on the Memory card via a card reader as instructed as I am told that the maps can not be installed onto the Symbian phone via a USB connection.
    I have run the Nokia maps program on the Classic first before attempting to use maps as instructed.
    It would appears that the downloads went well because both the installations took a bit of time as the progress bar went across the screen of the 6120.
    When I tried to view maps, all I got was the world globe to load and from there nothing.
    Just as a point as it may have a bearing. When I tried a Maps download via the PC and Nokia Map Loader, I got the usual gray panel with instruction on how to download, but when I clicked 'next' to got to the next phase where I was to select a country or district or whatever I was told that the connection to the server has been interrupted and to try again, and again, and again...you get the picture.
    I found some instructions on the net:
    "After installing the Nokia Map Loader application on your PC, start the application. First, choose the continent in the tab on the top of the application window. Then choose the country. Some small countries can be chosen completely, others have several sub-maps from which you have to choose the ones you want to install".
    I have never seen this panel anywhere! I believe this is the one that is supposed to come after the gray instructional panel as I stated above.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I read that I do not need an Internet or GPS connection just to view maps (and that is all that I want to do) so why can't I view my maps, ANY maps?
    So whatever I have so far downloaded to the memory card (and from memory is somewhere around 60 something MB, could be more, could be less)is at the moment doing nothing for me.
    I really need help here please. :-(
    Regards
    Nokia 6120 classic
    May the "Farce" be with you!

    The 6120 classic puts freshly installed apps straight into the main menu.
    Try to uninstall it from settings>app.mgr.
    Manual removal of Nokia Maps is a pain in the a** because the files are spread all over c:\ with cryptic file names from the smart2go era, most of 'em in folders that you can only get into if you hack your copy of Symbian. It's easier to back up your contacts, messages and calender entries etc., then reset your phone and reinstall your programs.
    Next time you install Nokia Maps (or any other app, especially if it's made by Nokia) make a backup of your phone first.

  • Nokia 6120 classic - Call log icons bug

    Hi to all.
    This is my first message in the forum.
    One week ago I bought a Nokia 6120 classic with brand Vodafone (I'm from italy).
    Everything works great except  the icons in the call log, accessible with the green key (that's to say the answer key).
    In fact, despite the phone numbers are correctly stored (and divided, for each contact, into mobile, home, etc.), the icons in the call lag is always the small blue icon related to a mobile phone niumber, even if  the number does not correspond to a mobile phone number.
    I have firmare version 4.21.
    This is what appears with *#0000#
    v 04.21
    09-10-07
    RM-243
    Nokia 6129c EMS53.02
    Through Nokia Software Updates I see there is a new firmare: v6.01.
    Do you know if this firmware fix the call log icons bug?
    As it is the unique bug I faced, I don't want to go on with a firmeware update if the new firmare do not solve it.
    Unfortunately I can't find on the web a changelog for this firmware.
    Many thanks.
    Filippo

    well the change logs for firmware updates are not public knowledge, they do not get released so in reality you never know what you are getting. firmware update is always recommened as it brings in more stability to the phone, usually fixes bugs, improves speed, sometimes battery performance and other identified issues. the chances are that you will not be able to find a changelog for your phone. you may not be able to update your phone unless it has been approved by voda since your phone is branded it is up to them to release approved firmware versions for thier customers.

    We wouldn't know that. They could be in your Junk email box, or the Rescue email address that you have on your account may not be what you think it is. Just FYI - the Rescue email (where that email would be sent to) is not the same as your Primary Apple ID email.

    Official Nokia reply to query on 6120c:
    In response to your email, there is no known issue with the Nokia 6120
    Classic mobile phone that Nokia is aware of. The Nokia 6120 Classic mobile
    phone is compliant with applicable thermal requirements of IEC 60950
    (International Safety Standard for Information Technology Equipment) and
    also with Nokia's own product requirements. The heating of the mobile
    phone is typical of electronic devices which does heat up after usage for
    a period of time. You can always take your mobile phone to a Nokia Care
    Centre to have it assessed and tested by our technicians to determine if
    the phone is within it's specifications.
    As for the speaker muting automatically, I would advise you to take your
    phone to a Nokia Care Centre to have it assessed by our technicians. You

  • Corrupted microSD card in 6120 classic

    I have Nokia 6120 Classic. Today I've opened my music player and it did not find any songs that were on the micro SD card. I got the card out and when I inserted it again it said that it's corrupted and wanted to format it. After the format I got it out again and then back in. Again corrupted. No matter how many times I've done that the result was the same. I've connected it to my laptop via an USB cable in pc suite mode. When I've copied some mp3s and tried to read them they were corrupted. I've got the card out, put it in my laptop, formated it in fat32, inserted it again in the phone and copied some songs in data mode. The music players found them, added them in the music library but when I restarted the phone I had to add them again. And it adds the song rather slowly.. and the browsing of the files in the phone browser is slow So.. should I buy a new micro SD card or it is the phone? I bought it 2 weeks ago. The card is new too. What should I do? I've tested it under Windows for bad sectors.. anything else. How to be sure that the card is faulty, and not the phone?

    Dear Islamic Brother, assalamu alaikum!
    i had the same problem with my 6120c phone. the original version in my set was 4.2 and i updated it to 5.11 myself. afterwards Islamic Organizer was not installing. but im glad to find a very simple solution myself.
    Important: All your data and installed applications will be removed permanently. So you should take backup of all your data on phone memory (contacts, calender items, sms, images etc) and though not necessary but in order to be safer - remove your memory card before following these steps:
    - Turn off your phone
    - Press and hold '*' '3' and 'call' buttons, and while holding all these three buttons simultaneously, and press 'ON' button. (this may sound difficult but when you will try to do this you will find it easy)
    - Keep all these four buttons press until your phone starts
    - If you have done it correctly the phone will ask you to enter your country, city, time and date, etc.
    - Go to Menu>Download - refresh the list and download Islam Organiser again.
    - That's all!!
    May we all respect our prayer timings!
