Hello again,

I'm taking everything I suggested back.
What fooled me was that I had three options: an iPhone, a home phone, and an 
email.  Messages would allow me to select the iPhone an email, but not the home 
phone.
I can confirm that this bug exists after removing the iPhone number.  I think 
that there are many work-arounds for this and it isn't worth losing any sleep 
over.  What I find most bothersome is the fact that it is very hard to nail 
down bugs with Apple software due to very strange behavior.
I personally find the iBooks situation much more serious.

Hi,

One thing to keep in mind is that messages will refuse to choose a contact 
option that can't receive a message.
Is the mobile number an iPhone?  If not, you might check in settings whether or 
not you have sending sms turned off.
If you know that the number in question is an iPhone but the field says mobile, 
you might need to redo the contact and choose iPhone from the popup rather than 
mobile if you're just wanting to send an iMessage.

You mean move down from the home number?  Thing is, I'm double tapping on the 
mobile number to select it but the home number gets selected instead.
