orbit 2 cube contacts, can't add outlook contacts

Hi guys,
just bought myself a orbit 2 smartphone,
i would like to add contacts with a picture to the htc cube intalled on this phone.
Wen i try to add a contact, it shows me my sim contacts, and not the outlook contacts containing a picture. I really can't find out why it wont show my outlook contacts.
Maybe you guys have a clue ?
Thankzzz

No one ?
Please give me a hand, sorry if this is a newbie question,
but get me going, i can't find any other persons with this problem.

Bump Up we go

Are those contacts (Outlook) available, when you click
on the "Kontakte" Softkey on the left bottom on the Today screen?
Normally the cube uses the same database as all the others.
This means, if you want to add a contact by clicking the + in
the cube it enters the default contacts application where you
choose the contact. It is, however possible to hide the sim
contacts from showing, but never heard it viceversa
You are using the orbit 2 with O2 Rom "out of the box", right?

Hi olioaglio,
Thank you so much for the reply!
If i use the green phonecall button and then left on the bottem off the screen enter the contacts. Then yes i can see my sim contacts and my outlook contacts.
If however i go to the cube and press an emty photoframe to add a contact to the cube, i see a contact window but no outlook contacts in the list, very bizar! I can however make a new one, menu --> new contact, and then make a outlook contact, but when its made, it doens't show in the menu, so i really cant find a way to do it !?
Im running a O2 rom out of the box, with wm 6.

Its better for me to show you
so i made a little screen video
You can find it here: http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=X752XJWJ
Hope you guys have megaupload acounts, i can upload it anywere you like.
just ask
Thanks!

does anyone have an idea what i could do? Based on the video?

Bump, please help me out guys!

SMS to multiple recipients in WM 6.1

Is this possible? I'm new to Windows Mobile and I can't find any way of sending the same SMS message to more than one contact. I've done a search on the forum but haven't been able to find a solution frrom those old threads.
Any new and easy solutions you guys know of? Thanks!

Anyone?
I have a new number with my new WinMo phone and need to let all of my contacts know, of which there are around 100.

I like the following, GroupSMS. There are others as well.

Thanks for that.
The problem with I'm having using that app is that I can't sync my HTC Touch HD with Outlook, it just says "Outlook has not been configured". So I have no way of copying the contact from my phone to Outlook and hence am unable to create any groups in Outlook to sync back to my phone.
Help?

Hmm, Ok, I don't use Outlook so don't know how to help with that. May want to bring up those issues within the GroupSMS thread itself, see if others can help.

In WM6.1 the standard messaging client allows for SMS to a lot of people. Simply press the TO: button to add additional people. The format goes like this on mine when auto inserted from the contact list:
Xda Developers <8085551211>; Thresher <8083332222>; etc
When I am typing out multipl contacts in SMS i simply type the name, then hit enter, I then type another name, choose it and go from there.
It sounds like that is what you were asking but you got a lot of varied results. Perhaps groupsms is easier to use or something but I do not know. You only need what wm6.1 has to do multiple sms sending.

Is your Outlook (not Express) in fact setup and operational from your desktop?

i just start a new sms
click [to] text
add a contact click [to]
add another and so forth

I can't understand how it's not an easy thing for MS to implement, if I have a group set up called 'work', in the To: box, I put 'work' and it text's to everyone in the work group? Surely that wouldn't have been hard to implement?

how to hide or get rid of favourite friends on the contact list?

Is it possible to get rid of or hide the favourite friends page when I move my TF3D slider to contacts? Everytime I want to call someone I have to click 'show all contacts' on the contacts tab. It would be so much easier if it can just go onto my contact list straight away.
Thanks

Hi,
Although not answering your question directly, did you know you can start typing the name of the person you want in the dialler and it will drill down the list of contacts until you get to the one you want. It also works if you start putting the numbers in. Very clever.

Last name, first name in contacts.

Hi in here.
Im quite tired of that the phonebook shows my contacts with last name first an first nam last.
You can change that manually if you choose your contact and presses edit contact. Then scroll down to more, and then your are in the original wm settings. Here can you edit to first name will be shoved first.
Aint there a fix there does that automaticly to my contacts.
Im tired of doing it manually to each contact.

Hi,
If I'm right, I think you need to organise your contacts within M$ Outlook in a way that they are stored First Name first.
If this is how you synchronise your contacts then what you want to look for within Outlook , on each of your contact details, is the 'file as' option and select your preference.
I'm not sure if there is a universal way of changing this for all contacts, I only tried doing it one by one.
I hope this helps

how to organize favorite screen

Hi you guys
I've tried to search how to organize favorites contacts in manilla 2.5.
By default, pictures are arranged by name and only first name is displayed.
If you haven't picture associated, you will only see first name, so you don't really know who it is!
I'de like to rearrange contacts as i like, does someone think it is possible and if so can you tell me how please ?

Organize your contacts outside of your device, then sync them to your device.

Thank's for your advice Bruce but how do you want me to arrange contacts outside the phone.
The only thing i can do is to change the first name
