I know they dropped the first name/last name with i upgrade but why?
It just doesn't seem natural to look for somebody’s name by their first name.

Well, i for one have all by first name, but that's a matter of taste.
Just rename them in outlook as "Jones, Mike" Instead of "Mike, Jones"
No biggie

But doesn't that mean that caller ID shows the names backwards?
On my T39 I optioned the names as last name in the phone book but it correctly displayed a person's name correctly when caller ID was displayed.

My point about Caller ID still stands.
And anyway why should a T68 owner have to go to all that trouble just because some software designer didn't think things through.
The whole point of modern technology is that it makes you life easier not harder.
(BTW I still love the phone!)

Just export your contact list from Outlook to a .csv file. Open the new file with Excel, and exchange the columns you want (i.e. first name with last name). Beware of not swapping the first row (which says the contents of the column) or it won't work.
Then, just save the file and import again in Outlook. Syncronize with XTND Connect, and voilà!
Perhaps I've been too fast, if anyone needs further explanations, just drop a reply...

But it still (again) means your Caller ID will display the name backwards!
