Hi all! I have the same thing in mine! when I open item chooser only a few of my contacts show up, and I also found it depends on where I was in the address book which ones showed up for example if I was on Alison and did item chooser just names from her to say the letter j showed up then if I went to Tony then did item chooser then names from say Mike to Wendy showed up! I've not got many names so there might be a different out come for others who have more like 800 or so :] They might just get all names starting with the letter c :] hth Colin On 5 Nov 2010, at 14:23, erik burggraaf wrote:
