New phone time...just a few questions
Contracts up and its time to choose a new phone. The v551 caught my eye at the store and I decided to look further into it. Looking through all these forum topics I just have a few questions to clear up.
Basically I'm all about convenience, but I hear this phonebook has one of the most confusing flaws or something. Something about 1 number per name or not being able to put the Names list in alphabetical order. Can someone clarify for me exactly what the problem(s) is/are?
Battery life seems to be some big issue, but it always deals with using Bluetooth and keeping it on. I'm a simple kind of guy and could give a crap less about using Bluetooth...so my battery life is good right?

Someone give me a little clarity on this please?

I have had at least one dropped call, but that call was inside a building. Yes the outter display gives you the name of the person calling, provided that name is in your phonebook otherwise it would just list the phone # calling. The outter screen does have a little animation of a phone ringing. I wish you could turn off that little animation so it displays more of the name. It's like..

Yes the phone book lists in alphabetical order.
You can add more than 1 # to an entry. The exception is that you have to store the phone # on the phone itself and not on your sim card.

Most likely you will get the newer software version and it has better battery life. You can alter the phone #'s on the sim card by adding a dash or other symbol to the head of the listing, this will move all the sim listings to the bottom of the phone book if seeing duplicate #'s in your phone book bothers you, personally i don't mind it. I have had about a dozen dropped calls since getting the phone in january, no more or less than other phones and services i have had.....
