things should be available in treo650

there are some small features, that i believe should exist in treo 650.

1. a default contact button.
   a lack of default contact button, requiring you to goto main application then tap on contacts. but to overcome that, we can create a shortcut;
   1. go to preference on main application,
      
   2. then select button, then you can assign option + [some button] for contacts
   
   
2. direct delete for SIM phonebook from contact.
   you need go to to SIM book to do the delete action
3. middle name field in contact.
   if you're using Microsoft Outlook, then you filled in middle name field in there, after syncronizing, you fill find the middle name is missing from treo 650 contacts.
4. filter syncronize
   on palm OS 4. it need HotSync to syncronize, the latest HotSync is capable to only syncronize filtered data, no need all.
   

hide your phone number for outgoing call

Sometimes we need to make a call that the person we call no need to know our number.

here are how to do it on your treo650 gsm.

• press the green phone button
  
• press menu button, the button on the right, over the red phone button
• select Option / Call Preferences ..
• or press menu button, then press A on keypad.
• then give checkmark on Block outgoing caller ID

then when you dial a number, the person who receive your call should only see : private number or somenthing like that on their display.

note: this feature is sometimes optional, you might need to subscribe to your network provider for this.
