Outbound call support?

hey folks,

I've just gotten the N95 yesterday, and although on the whole a cracking phone, the one thing I really miss from my previous phone (Orange M5000) is the outgoing call software.

When I start dialling a number it showed me a list of contacts it matched against, so after dialling a dialling code (0191 for example) then it'd list the 4 contacts I have with phone numbers starting with those digits and I could select one.

Such a lifesaver really.

All I seem to get on the N95 is a representation of the number I'm dialling. Yes, it's easy enough to make a call against a contact from my contacts list if I go into it, but I liked not having to in WM5. I find it difficult to believe that the phone software doesn't have the capacity to know *before* I make that call whether or not the number is in my phonebook somewhere.

Any thoughts on any software out there? Happy to buy if it does what I want.

Cheers,
Terry
