That’s a pretty big list now!

It’s a strange omission given that IM contacts seem to be treaated as second class contacts anyway. They don’t upload to my MfE server, nor are they recognised by Hermes as contacts that can have pictures and details added. This is true of the facebook plugin described here and the new Jabber service they are offering.

My workaround to get pictures was to allow Hermes to create “birthday only” contacts and then merge them with the FB/Jabber contacts. So, I’m still swamped with contacts but at least they all have pictures, birthdays and websites and upload to the MfE server.

I see what you mean: Filtering out contacts from other services only showing original Phone contacts?

There’s a long way to do it. Go to accounts>Facebook>Disable. That hides all facebook contacts.

There should be a quicker shortcut way like with groups>Sim contacts or Groups>Facebook, there should be Groups>Phone contacts. I’ve made a note of it as number 47: http://wp.me/p73J2-15U

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s no way to show contacts that are associated with NO service… so it’s difficult to filter out FB friends and see actual contacts.

Hi Umair!

There is a separate contact list.

As it says, you can filter out Facebook contacts, Yahoo contacts, MSN contacts so only those appear.

But if you mean a quicker tab list to switch even quicker between accounts, then yes, that would be nice.

The thing I hate about this IM’s protocol is that they merge with the Contact List on the phone which creates confusion. There should be a separate tab for the IM’s list particularly.
