When I type a number in iDialer and press the new contact button I get to the standard WM6 form for a new contact with the number already filled in. The problem is that I cant find a way to save that new contact, since there's no "OK" button or something..
Also I'd prefer a application to create a new contact, because the standard form is to tiny and there are too many fields u dont need anyway..
Help is very appreciated.. Thx in advance!

Say a person that is not in my contact list calls me on my XDA, although I can see the number in the phone application, I cannot just copy it or easily create a new contact using the number unless I write it down on paper first, a bit of an oversight by MS or am I missing something?
you can do it by going into call history and pressing and holding with the stylus on the number you want to save.

And what to do if I want to add the number to an existing contact?
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for the answer,

Think you are stuck unless there is some third party software that can do it.
Hi all,
@Urosh:
Just create a new contact the way junglejim discribed, open this new contact, mark the number, press and hold pen, copy the phone number to the other contact. Thats all. Without using a paper to write the number down.
Perhaps it is a long way to get there, but it works.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
How about; press-and-hold, then select 'send sms', then copy from 'to' field into your existing contact.
Still a bit long, but getting there!
Hi,
Is there any easy way of adding a new contact from the phone app when someone has called me?
I cant see any way of copy/pasting the number or any selection that allows a direct 'add to contacts'.
anyone help ?
thanks
The easiest way is to press the Call History button, tap and hold the the number you want, and tap the Save to Contacts selection.
That's it.
thank you that works great.. i cant believe i couldnt find it before !
cheers,
Kev.
hi
I want to add a number from Call History to one of my existing contacts (i.e, add to home telephone of an existing contact)
However, when hold and tap number in Call History, it open a new contact instead of letting us choose an existing contact
Any program that can let us do that
My device is O2 XDA IIi
Thanks
Tuan
There isn't any way around this, though maybe there will be in WM2005 or through a third party program.
It's something that annoys me, too. The way round it is to get it up as a New contact, then copy the number and cancel saving the contact, go to the correct contact and add it that way.
Bit long winded, but other than writing it down by hand or remembering it I don't think there's any other way.
Cheers

Hey Guys..
Simple trick....
Tap and hold the number in the call history
Then select option "Send Text Message"
Then copy/cut that Number and paste in the contacts
Then cancel the message
I hope, this sounds OK
Hey guys, I used to hang out here when I had my old HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125) and I remember this place being very helpful and knowledgeable. So I've come back in hopes of fixing a couple small "flaws" on my new Samsung Epix.
1. Is it possible to change the default input for the recipient when composing a new text? When I open a new text window, the default input for the recipient's name is in numbers.. but I would like it to be letters so I can just spell out the name instead of write in the phone number.
2. Can the "Reply" softkey in the Inbox of messages be changed to "Delete" like it is in the Outlook E-mail profile? I like to keep my inbox relatively empty and having reply on that soft key is kinda useless.. delete would be a lot more handy, and it's the way the Outlook profile is already setup.
Thank you all for your help
Found a solution for problem 1

Now if I can figure out the other two, that would be sweet!
Is there an easy way to add a new contact from a txt? What I mean is, say you get a txt from someone not in your contacts. Instead of their name, their number shows up. Is there a way to make a new contact with them without have to write the number down and adding it manually?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
don't think so...you have to copy it and then paste into the dialer and then save to contacts
When your in the txt message, press menu key and then you'll get the option add to person, and then make a new contact with that number. That is how it works with mine so it should work on yours to.
short press on the message from the number that isn't in your contacts, then select add contact.
