Multiple Contact Lists

Is there a way to setup multiple contacts lists? I would like to have 1 list for friends and a separate list for business rather than having a single list of all of my contacts.
Thanks in advance.

Edit your contacts and give them a category. Edit them by scrolling to the bottom and press "Others" (translated from my Chinese version, so look for something similar). By default there's Personal, Work, Holiday, etc., and you can define more yourself.
Once you have contacts with categories, you can open the menu (right button) in contacts, and choose "Filter".

Thanks. That works. Is there a way to set a default filter? The filter always goes away when I leave my contacts page and return.

I have no idea about how to make the filter stick... I doubt it's recorded in the registry at all.
It might work if you keep the Contacts running... i.e. by switching tasks, or by adding it to the registry so that it is not closed when you press "X".

Show contact list

Hello;
I'm interesting if there is a option to show all contacts in WM "native" contact list. I'm able to get all contact from OutlookSession, but gte all contacts and draw there photo, name.. is to slow.
But contacts on my Raphael are shown in very pretty list, with "letter filters" on right side and it's very fast.
Thx for answers

Can the following TF3D mods be done?

1: Turn off the animated weather on the home screen. I don't want any wallpaper
2: Rename the favorites tab to Contacts, and remove the whole favorites screen. when I go to that tab, I want to see the screen you get if you hit the "all contacts" button in the lower left corner.
3: remove the "Add push internet page" links on the internet tab
4: remove the mail preview on the mail tab. when i go to that tab, I want to see my inbox as if I clicked the inbox link in the lower left corner
5: get the tasks on the home screen
It looks like you would need to modify the tabs to make this happen, is that possible? All the searching I have done only show ways to change the pictres or colors, not to actually get at the coding that drives the functionality of the tab. Some guy coded a calendar tab for an older verison of TouchFlo but never says how he actually did it or what langauge/IDE he used, so it looks like it is possible.
Also, is there a definitive list of all the "hidden" tabs that you can turn on (like Sound Settings, CommManager, etc)

[SOLVED][Q] Contacts syncing with Facebook?

I am coming from a Vibrant so am not all that familiar with Vanilla android, is there any way to get contacts to sync with Facebook? I liked how on the Vibrant I could link all my phone contacts with their facebook accounts so there photos would be updated, also have quick access to their fb pages, but mostly for throwing in all their pictures. I see you can add FB friends into contacts on the phone but I dont see a way to link the FB friends contact info with their phone number? Is there any way to link them? I dont want to have two seperate contacts (one for phone number and one for FB) for each person in my "contacts" tab.
Thanks

When I first opened the Facebook app, it asked if I wanted to sync all friends to contacts, sync information to existing contacts, or skip syncing.
I chose to sync with existing contacts and it only added pictures and Facebook links to the contacts.

I have that set too but some of the people in my contacts arent put in as first name and last name, but just first name or a nick name, on the Vibrant I could just link the fb contact and the phone contact together if the names werent exactly the same, doesnt seem like thats an option on this phone?

In that case... go to Contacts :ress and hold contact's name::: > EDIT CONTACT > then Press MENU > JOIN.
you should see a list of suggested names from your facebook contacts.....
If the one you want isn't listed there.... try changing either first name or last name or both... (you dont have to save) and then press MENU > JOIN .... again.... and it should come up...

Anyone using launcher pro, i notice that even though it syncs with facebook and puts the pics in the contacts tab, it doesnt put the contact into the contact picture when you edit the contact so as a result, doesnt put it into the "people" widget
nm turns out its a known launcher pro issue

[Q] quick question about contacts

Is there a way to combine contact list? Im still little new to android phoness (had a Touch Pro 2) and i guess it is set up to show list from your phone and any google account seperate. When i add a new contact i have to choose one list or the other....is there a way to either have both phone list synced/merge or for me to save the new contact on both list? I would really only like to deal with one list is possible. Thanks

it sets it up to show all at once. you can choose to see which account contacts to display but defualt, its all merged
