Hi

When I receive SMS messages the display panel shows the name as:
<last name><first name>

is there anyway to change this so that it displays the name correctly?

Phone: 6680
Firmware: V 3.04.35 12-05-05 RM-36
Telco: Orange

Cheers

What is "correctly" to you? The way it is done now is probably "correctly" to whomever wrote the code, or at least the specification which it is based on? ;)

Only workaround I can think of: swap the first and last name fields in Contacts; there's a free NameSwap utility to do it: http://my-symbian.com/7650/applications/applications.php?fldAuto=7&faq=2

I would like the format to be :
<first name><last name>.

I have tried to reverse the first name and last name in the contacts but end up with double the amount of contacts when the phone syncs with outlook.

I should add that when in contacts the names are displayed in the format <first name><last name> it is just the 'wrong' way round when displaying incoming text messages.

TIA
