Incoming message contact name in reverse order? — Nokia N71, Nokia N73 and Nokia N75

Hi everyone

I have just got my new N73 and updated to new firmware yesterday, but I noticed something really strange.

In my contacts it will display:
First Name : John
Last Name: Doe

But whenever I receieve a message from him, the message will say it came from:
Doe John

I'm sure its not really a bug, but perhaps someone could enlighten me as to how to change the contact display order when viewing your Inbox?

The contacts display correctly when viewed from my Sent Items, or Delivery Reports.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This is typical Nokia behaviour and one that has irritated me since I got my 7250.

It always displays things Last Name, First and even when you tell it not to the messages still do.

The way around it seems to be to edit the contact and change it to

Firstname : John Doe
Lastname : null

Ahhh, thanks!

I think I'm definitely going to use your solution 😊

Good thing the latest firmware updates removed all my contacts off my phone, else I would have a lot more than 12 contacts to change!
