Can you do multiple numbers/name yet?

I had the V60s some time ago and took it back since you had to create a completely separate entry for each phone number somebody had, rather than having multiple numbers saved on one name.

Have they changed this feature for the better or is it still a separate entry for each number?

Great question. You can do this on the v810. I'm getting a v265 for my wife today and will let you know.

When you enter them, they are under the same name. When you look them up in your contacts, they are listed separate for each number or email.

This is bad. The feature on the v810 is much better and allows you to change the primary number for each contact on the fly. This way, you don't see John Doe multiple times; just once and then use the right arrow to scroll through the various numbers for John Doe.

Thumbs down, Motorola. This is taking a step backwards.

Go to Setup in Contacts and change the view from "All Contacts" to "Primary Contacts". This will show only one entry for each name...with an icon to denote which number is active. To call that person on a different number than the one displayed, use left or right on the thumbpad to change the number (denoted by a change in the icon).

Thanks! That worked.
