The Most Irritating Bug on Nokia S60 V3 phones?

This is something I’ve wanted to blog about since eons now. I’m stumped as to why Nokia cannot correct this on their phones with a firmware update. All the v3 phones I’ve used from the N95 onwards have had this bug.


The first image shows the screenshot of a contact. Note the icon that appears next to the number, to denote a landline number. Now, if I go ahead and call this number, I’d obviously have this number in the call history. Navigate to the call history and now check the log. The contact now has a mobile phone icon! This IMO, is very irritating, and misleading to say the least.

Lets assume I get a missed call from a contact for whom I have multiple details, including a mobile phone number and a landline number. By looking at the call log, how am I supposed to figure out what number did I get the call from? The different icons are there to identify the type of number, in the first place. This bug totally defeats the purpose.

I wonder if Nokia is listening?

    Also, this updated Disqus is pretty cool! It should not have the subscribe to comments thing on by default though..

    That's niggled me for a while too. Though it looks like they've fixed it, as per below comment.

    Nope. Its not fixed. I was specific when I said N95 onwards. N95 was S60 V3 FP1. The E65 is S60 V3. You've got my N80, check when you have the time. This bug does not exist on that. Nokia formerly have not had this bug.
