I found a glitch in the way the Inbox reads the Phonebook for name labels.

The phone only reads the last 7 digits in the phone number. Which means:

The phone thinks that
+1234567890
is the same as
+96583212564567890

That's kinda dumb if you ask me! I think the older T39 had this limitation as well, but it never happened on my T68.

I think this is a limitation on current GSM phones... I know most Nokia's have this limitation too... but I was expecting the P800 to have the same level of recognition as my T68, if not, even more.

Hi, nice to see you got your phone, i was following the post when you guys got them, i bought mine yesterday in London & guess what, it`s imported from phillapines,
All caller id systems on all phones mobile/landline only use the back end of the number so when you use calling card prefix`s or "141" in front to hide your identity or use international prefix`s your phone will still recognise it, if the T68 used all the number i`d be very suprised indeed, mine has gone now so can`t test it.
