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?
