"Does anyone know if it is possible to search for contacts by Company Name on the N900?"

Paul, the n900 PIM is rather sad, as mentioned in the article and my post above no search or description field for notes.

you can search contact though from the desk top. you cant do it with one hand though searching contacts requires 2 hands (bad UI). you slide out the keyboard and start typing the name, (works similar to palm this way) - it only works from the desktop screen, and works well for names only. (no other search on the device)

Well, it seems that we all have to wait for improvments in the next firmware just like we got used by Nokia years and years now. I am a Nokia loyal, since the beginning of GSM network (20 years or more). I must confess that the legentary nokia ease of use is not the case in this masterpiece. The basic and most often used fanctions , should be there, on the first line, available and complete at any time. MMS is important, SMS to many using a contact group is most important. Battery life I expect will improve as we experienced many times in the past on other nokia phones. Waiting for the improvments, I still use also my N97, especially while on the move or when I do not have enough time to dig to find applications or take alternative steps for missing applications.

I am enjoying my n900 it sure ise'nt the ready to go device I though it would be.

What's missing from the n900 PIM: 1) Search function. I cant search calendar notes or tasks or contacts notes! 2) Tasks do not have a description or the attached note! 3) no category sync from Outlook!

What many current Palm users like me would like to know is:

How can we migrate our contacts over?

What many current Mac users, like me, would like to know is:

is it possible to back up / sync the N900 with Mac?

Critical PIM questions. Other than that, this N900 looks super! Very tempting - in fact, we hope to see it in Asia, Singapore.

The aviable fields in the contacts are not renameable like at the S60 Mobiles. This is a hard fault!

What if someone has more than 2 private Mobile numbers and additional one for Work?

How to describe them? A Field in the Notes?

What is the Standard number for SMS?

Not the best solution…

No, PIM support is NOT pretty strong. One can't even have a day view! One can't schedule complex repeating events. So far as I know, there is little or no integration between the contacts and calendar. Tasks are a joke. Notes, ditto.

If you want to know what a good PIM is, you should check Datebk6, Pocket Informant, and Agendus. If any of these were available for this device (or equivalent functionality), the N900 would be a top choice for people who have to manage their time.
