Headset troubles with a 6260

First of all, greetings everyone.

I just purchased the forementioned phone and I like it very much, except for a few inconveniences (and we all know it's the little things that drive you mad). The most annoying one is the fact that it disconnects calls when you close the lid, even if the call is made with a connected headset (the default, wired version, haven't tried bluetooth yet). So what I'm wondering is: can this behaviour be altered in any way? I haven't found any setting, except the one regarding auto-answering by opening the lid - which is useless 95% of the time, since it doesn't have an external screen. And please don't start with the "Browse Mode", if you keep the phone with the screen turned outside, it will break in a few months with moderate to heavy usage. It is really annoying to open the lid, see who's calling, answer and then to have to walk around with the phone opened wide - it kinda blows away the whole concept of "handsfree".
Also, is there a contact manager that can search by phone numbers as well? I've seen this on the Windows enabled phones and I like it very much.

Thanks in advance,
Elis.

For the contacts by number look for the SmartDialer software.

Not sure on the other issue - sorry. But a Bluetooth headset may not be the asnwer either.

Thanks for the reply, I'll look for the dialer. If anyone else has ideas regarding the headset... Please.

Cheers,
Elis.
