I put appointments in my calendar, nothing odd about that. In those appointments I put phone numbers sometimes.
I then look at the appointment and want to call the number in the notes, is this odd? How do I do this easily?

Yeah, The default calender sucks and does not support this basic feature.
You might have to look for other PIM suite like Pocket Informant (Dont know if that one provide this option actually)

I have a contact X on the diamond - I put up the birthday for this contact, on my diamond. But it doesn't get updated onto the Calendar.
Ok, I THINK it will work when I sync it with the OUTLOOK. (well it should, logically, but then it's microsoft, so I guess anything is possible, anyways, giving them the benefit of the doubt, let's assume it will work)
My question is, is there a way to make this work without having to Sync to Outlook?
I mean, it seems pointless to have that detail in the contacts option, if it's not going to add it to the calendar.
Any help will be appreciated.
I would like to know if it's possible too.
I amusing best birthday, but it doesn't import contacts to calendar, so I have to launch it every time I want to check if there is any birthday...
I just tried it with the sync to outlook thing, seems to be working. For now anyways.
Of course, alternatively you could set up all the bdays in the outlook contacts.. and then Outlook will add those up as Calendar events (which it does) .. and then you sync the diamond again.
Which, would work..
But, it would be a hell lot easier if the WM6 would take care of this on it's own, without having to sync.
I mean, there is a field for putting up Bday and Anniversary.. it SHOULD take it to the Calendar..
Am I missing something?
You are right. My previous phone i used SBSH pocketbreeze for that function. But the drawback with the diamond is, that because of the touch3d we are not able to place more nothing anymore on the today screen.
Lost my favorite feature
Hello,
I used a very nice software on my old ETEN M600 called "Birthday" (made by David Andrs) that was a Today pluging. It was displaying days remaning, name and age of contacts for a customizable number of days before and after his birthday. I'm very sad to loose this functionnality on my Diamond
If you have any idea to retrieve this functionnality for this beautiful and powerful diamond, I would be very happy.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how you use the agenda birthday reminder with HTC Diamond ? I've just bought the phone and sync it with mail2web (outlook exchange service on Internet). The phone is not reminding me birthdays which is annoying me...
Before, I was using TYNT II with Spb Diary plugin which was great ! It was showing the coming birthdays and also ringing the D-day.
I read that other Diamond users had also this kind of issue. To solve it they manage birthday's on Outlook contact (on their computer) to generate entire day event and then sync it with their phone.
Do you know another way to get this reminder work ?
Thank you
i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... HOW CAN i USE BIRTH REMINDER ON TOUCH FLO.
ANY BODY KNOW???
LEO
It seems that no one else has this kind of problem....
i do, but i haven't any solutions for this ****ty bug
Finally I've manually created reminders in the calendar...
I have all the birthday in the Outlook (like meeting)
and all ok after sync the Phone with the Outlook (to outlook exchange server at work via the Internet)
Just open the Outlook and add new Item in the Calender , cycle it evey year as u add the item (Press on the Recurrence button), that all ...
I have added birthdays to my contacts in outlook. Is there away to make those show up on the today screen? its kinda odd the calender is only for meetings or perhaps i am missing something here.
I assume i could add birthdays by hand in outlook but that kinda defeats the idea when you can have it all in the contact info.
Regards
I use Birthdays 1.2.10, so I don't need to touch the calendar.

I know Birthdays 1.2.10 but this programm don't work with manila3d
becaus all today pugins don't work with manila3d
The funniest thing
In also seem to have a birthday related problem.
I bought my diamond several months ago and synced it with my compu (outlook 2007). I just yet noticed it didn't sync all my birthday info. (The info is in he contacts, the birthdays just aren't coming up in my calender, neither on my compu nor on my phone ).
Is there a way to 'update' the calender in such way all birthdays come back to my calender?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
If you enter the birthday in outlook contacts, normally a all day event will be created in outlook. please check if this is ok. finally i have turn off the reminders for this events, because the alarm will go on at 11.45 pm by default. This all day events appears on my home sreen in TF3D.

maybe U can to use a software like mToday and to have 2 Today profiles ... one with manila and other with regular WinMo plugins

I think you need to synchronise it with outlook on your pc for it to take effect. Outlook on the phone isn't smart enough to figure it out by itself apparently, but I've just synched it with my pc, it's showing up in the calendar in outlook and in the calendar on the phone.
Is it possible that there is no any simple WM application to check contacts evey day for birthdays.
Pocket PC should be smarter than some "smartphones"
Hello, so I just got my Diamond about a week ago, so after setting up all my settings, rom and all that, I started adding pictures to my contacts, the problem is, I can't add pictures to a contact or even add a contact to the TF3D tab, because activesync will start making duplicates of those every time i sync with outlook. This never happened with my kaiser, so i even tried out some more roms, and i always have the same problem...
eg.
Create 1 contact, it syncs ok.
Add a picture to the same contact, active sync will create a duplicate and add a picture to the duplicate.
Try to delete any of the contacts, original or doubles, active sync will just keep cloning it till i remove the pic...
I've searched around before someone comes and flame, and i found nothing related to this issue, any idea what could be happening?
Very weird. 90% of my contacts have pictures and this doesn't happen.
are you also making a sim contact or outlook contact? are sim contatcs set to display?
Outlook contact, sim contacts set not to show. It didn't happen before with my Kaiser either.
Tried creating them on outlook or on the diamond and both result in a cloning, tho for some reason, now if i try to add a picture with iContact instead of HTC Album, the picture fails to sync, but at least it doesn't double the contacts, so i found a half-solution.
do you have WM live! messenger sync options set to sync contacts with phones contact list?
A little update.
I hadn't even ran Live! on the diamond once, but I noticed that the contacts would duplicate on Outlook only when I logged in or out of my MSN.
So now I sync'd the contacts on the diamond with Live! and they don't duplicate anymore, i still can't sync pictured but at least now i don't end up with 10 contacts of the same person.
If i add a picture on an outlook contact on the pc or through Htc Album, it doubles the person, if i add a picture using iContact, it does not sync the picture but doesn't clone the contact either, so i have it +/- fixed, even tho i'll have to add a contact, let it sync to outlook and only after add a picture.
In activesync and in wmdc there is an option under sync settings for contacts to either replace or combine contacts.
I'm guessing you've got it set to combine.
Hi everybody,
I'm currently using 2 phones, my X1 and a Nokia 6600i slide. I'm syncing them both with my Windows 7 laptop which has Outlook 2007. I want to keep my agenda and contacts on both of my phones. This is because the Nokia is my work phone and X1 private, but I use them both to for example call private and have work and private appointments in them.
The thing I'm struggling with is the following:
Currently, my X1 has both my Windows Live contacts as well as my Outlook contacts. My Nokia only accepts Outlook contacts.
Therefor I have duplicates of some of my Windows Live contacts as Outlook contacts. I can do that via Outlook on my laptop, that isn't the problem.
The thing that bothers me is that my X1 shows both my Windows Live contacts as well as my Outlook contacts. So a lot of the names exist twice in my contacts list in my X1.
When I remove the Windows Live contacts, I also lose them from my MSN Messenger contact list.
So basically what I want is this:
- I decide for myself which contacts I want as Live only, as Outlook only, or as both. This doesn't need to be automated or anything
(I use Live only for people that I Only have on MSN, Outlook only for people that I don't have on msn like business relations, and both for people that I do have on MSN but also call, like family and friends)
- I want to have my X1 contact list OR show only the Outlook contacts, OR to show them both but in some way recognizes duplicates (on for example the exact same name) and then only show one of them, preferably the Outlook one.
I hope this makes sense to you guys, I tried my best to explain as clear as possible. Main issue is just that I don't want double names in my contact list on my X1.
If anyone knows how to achieve this or any other handy trick, please let me know!!
Thanks

Nobody?
I haven´t been able to find or to make it work for that matter, I wish that my contacts when I include the birthday, would automatically set a reminder in the calendar, so that when the birthday comes I get notified. I have over 500 contacts, and at least 100 with a birthday date added to it, and no reminder is set in my calendar.
I don't synchronize my phone calendar to any other calendar, because I don´t use my computer at home that much, and the one at work gets audited every other week, and people at work are very peculiar when it comes to personal matters.
I would just like to add the contact, and when including a birthday or anniversary, it would automatically be in my calendar, just like Blackberry did or does.
Any help, would be appreciated,
Thanks.
Store your contacts as google contacts not on the phone or on the sim and it should work
