However, I was just beamed a contact the other day, and it would only put it in Good Contacts. Any ideas how I can change that to the built-in contacts? thx On my Treo 680, I changed CREATOR of GoodAddressBookApp and TYPE of GoodLinkPhoneView, and it’s been serving me fine for the last year or so.

Unbelievable they still haven't addressed this after so long. Anyway, followed the same basic instructions as above... followed John’s steps, but like Dan found that on my Centro the creator attribute of GoodAddressBookApp is "PAdd". I modified it to "PAd1″, saved, exited FileZ, and now everything appears to be back to normal. Had the same problem using Good Mobile Messaging 5.03.23 on my Verizon Centro.

What doesn't work: I don't have the ability to type a contact's name for sms/mm. I have to go to the contact list first, highlight the number then click the message button. SMS/MMS that i receive will resolve and show the contact as it's listed in my address book though. Treo 700p (Verizon)

This allowed me to use my Outlook contacts as my main phone book. It also pulls up caller ID**. However, it does not show pictures nor use the ringtones assigned to each contact. I am using Ringo v4.455 and it worked perfectly on both my 650 with Goodlink, and on my 680 prior to installing Goodlink. **After a little testing, the caller ID is NOT working off of the Outlook contacts - it's working off of the "favorites" list that I entered separately. That's good news. I think that once I get the calls to actually point to the Outlook Contacts, that Ringo will function as designed. On the blog that suggested the FileZ change, it stated "I’ve got a Cingular Treo 680, running Good 4.9.3.21_EN." Since I am using a higher version GoodLink, maybe there is a different "fix".

ALMOST everything works perfectly. I am able to get my e-mail, and the Contacts are my personal (Outlook) contacts instead of GoodLink Contacts. However, my pictures do not appear with the Caller ID, and my ringtones through Ringo do not work. Any suggestions?? Simon, your 12/30 advise was wonderful. ALMOST everything works perfectly.
