? concerning contact list

[ohvzwguy]

I personally own the Motorola Droid, But one one my customers has the eris.

here is the question...

He claims that whenever he call a contact, the actual contact is no longer available in the contact list but is instead moved over to the recent calls list. I told him that i believe that the recent call list only shows recent call and that the contact should to be found in propper order on the CONTACT list.

Having no actual experience with this phone, I'm just looking for clarifcation. does a recently called contact HAVE to be found in the recent call list? IF NOT, what may my customer be confused by? Is there a free application to make this any easier for him?

you have 3 lists really

people, found in people app, list all contacts all the time.

recent, found in dialer/phone app, shows all recent calls.

contact, found in dialer/phone app below recent, shows all contacts not shown on recent list.

Thank You so much for the response. this will be very helpful.

The easiest way, in my opinion, is using the "smart dial". Basically, when I open the phone app, I just start dialing the number or name of the contact and the phone will automatically start bringing up any phone number or contact that matches in my phonebook or even my recent dial list, such as "unknown" numbers in my Recent list.

not really on subject, but how do you change the default action in the people app? 1st time user (me) selected text when I wanted to call?

Go to your favorites under "People". Press and hold the contact and you should have an option to change the default action.
