In order to set up contacts on my new N97 I copied all of the contacts from my Nokia N95 8gig to the old sim, put the sim into the N97 and copied details to the telephone from the sim, then replaced the sim with my new one from my new provider.

All of the contacts appeared BUT the telephone numbers all were listed as "Mobile", even those with multiple numbers, and everybodys names appeared as last names - not as they should be first name last name.

Is there an easy way to put this right - I made a backup of the N95 before the sim expired so should have contacts on that?

Or i can manually put them all right but can't see how to edit the detail - i can delete them or add new ones but not edit (which was easy on the N95) and retype the first names - laborious but possible.

Any tips on this - the handobook is no help sadly. Thanks

first of you can't edit detail in sim contacts. you will have to copy your contacts to the phone memory and once you do that you will be able to edit details better. now the cell phone only bug is here to stay so every number will display as a cell phone rather then home or work number. 

go to contacts - options- settings - here you can change last name, first name stuff and also which memories you want to disply and save your numbers to

thanks radical I could edit the detail on the n95, just assumed nokia would have kept that feature to help differentiate peoples work from personal mobiles etc.
