Howdy,
This seems to be a Motorola anoyance I've seen now on the Razr and an
older V7xx something.
Is there any way to coax a Moto phone to behave like Nokias do when
searching your addressbook?
When you are browsing the addressbook after hitting the down arrow, on
the Moto, if you type a letter you go to the first entry with that
letter (which is fine, and intuitive), but, when you then type a
second letter, on the Motorola phones, it doesn't refine that search,
but rather jumps to the first entry with that _new_ letter.
When you have a bunch of folks entries who start with, say, D this
means you end up scrolling a lot more than if you could refine to "Do"
as you can on Nokia. What was two keypresses on the Nokia becomes
5-7 on the Motorola.
I've searched the menus and not found anything relevant to change this
behavior?
Best Regards,

Unfortunately, Motorola lags Nokia in the user interface department. I
have the same gripe about my Motorola phone.

On some, not all, Motorola phones, multi-key search can be enabled with
a SEEM edit.

A typically useless Navas post.

Totally unhelpful to the question at hand.
Better to use Google; e.g.,

First link.
Actually _not_ a SEEM edit -- a firmware update -- so I stand corrected.
