As above really. How can I add custom labels for people's numbers? Home, work, Home fax etc are not enough. I need to create my own. Is it possible? Thanks!

choose 'custom' from the bottom of the list.
That option does not appear to exist for "Phone" contacts.
go into the people app, choose the contact, choose edit contact, choose 'others', click 'add', choose phone, choose 'custom' from the bottom of the list.
all my contacts are google contacts, but i cant see why it wouldnt be there for phone ones?
This is a known problem, a custom label cannot be set for phone contacts. What a shame.
Thanks. So any idea if Froyo might be able to remedy this?
Yes, Froyo lets you do this. In the drop down at the bottom is Custom. You choose that, then it asks you for the custom label name.
Please confirm, this is for phone contacts?
I've updated to froyo (Android 2.2) and I can't edit the labels or add a custom 1. I contacted HTC and they say its not possible either. Does anyone know an app that will allow me to edit the labels for my contacts both phone and google?
I'm not looking for anything complex just the ability to change the label from "mobile" to "UK mobile" that sort of thing

This has really annoyed me. I am certain that before Froyo i could add custom numbers to Google contacts (I even set them all up for loads of my work contacts who have a personal and work mobile!). Now, it seems this capability has been removed from google contacts entirely. I am not sure if this is because of some compatibility issues with gmail contacts, as logging into this on the pc shows the same list of options as google contacts on the phone. This never really bothered me though, as I never found the need to look up someones number from gmail contacts on the PC. More-so, they haven't enabled it for phone contacts in Froyo either, thus removing a feature that I was entirely happy with and offering no alternative!
I hope a way customising phone labels is brought to gmail/google contacts soon as I have loads of numbers assigned as "home" and "work fax" now!
I dont know but Froyo is like installing a new OS on the phone so it voids your warranty.
