When I type the name of the person on the home screen it works pretty good.
However, I would also prefer to look up numbers directly from home screen or as I am dialing a number, I would very much like it to match the number to someone in the address book and pick up WITHOUT hitting Send Key.

Sometimes I would see a number somewhere, I have no idea who it is. I would generally go directly to my phone and start inputting the number, as I input it used to display everyhting that matches to that number on my SDA or other WM5 phones, but it won't on Curve, unless I am missing something.

Another quirk is that you cannot view contact details when you look it up from home screen. If i type Jimmy, all Jimmies will show up, but if I wanna look at the address, or other info of that Jimmy, there is no way to view that from that screen.. I gotta cancel that, go back to addres book and view it?
