Contact list problems

[Hairy Weasel]

Hi.

My HTC Hero was delivered today and I am having problems with my contact list.

I have 500 plus names and numbers that have been transferred from outlook to the hero and they have come over in the same groups as in outlook but I need more than that.

On my windows based palm top (that I am hoping to replace with the hero) I can search for either a persons name or the name of the company they work for.
about 400 of my contacts are work related and I might only use them once or twice a year and without being able to search for a company name I can not find them.
it is further complicated because in a lot of cases a company name might have 3 or 4 different people under it.

Does anyone know of a contacts app or upgrade that would give me the functionality that I am looking for ?.

Thanks

ePhoneBook will do this. It has a Tab mode for "organizations." If you wanted to search by company frequently, this might be a pain, but since you do that search infrequently, it should work out for you.

Try it, it's free: ePhonebook v1.5.3-beta Application for Android | Communication

aContacts will also do it and it's also free: aContacts v1.3.3 Application for Android | Communication

The site for the ephone book seems to be down but I have just installed acontacts and it is excellent.

Thank you for your fast reply you have saved me a hell of a lot of messing around sending the phone back and looking for a new one.
