Sam, you need a 3rd party contact application like Inesoft Address Book. When you get a call, it shows a full screen contact picture, name and number. Moreover you can pick the font size for contact list to be as big as 36 pt. This application will make your life a lot easier. Believe me. Oh and I've just found another neat application "Zoom" It works like a magnifying glass. You move your stylus over the area you want to zoom. It's supposed to work in any application on your device. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how it works on Stealth. The application came out in 2004. I don't even know if it will work on WM5.

if all of u need to overcome some lags in the phone, try using an alternative software for this O2 stealth. not all default functions in the phone is good, some of the are useless.. Try tweaking the phone, and try using other software to run on the OS. somehow I managed to overcome some difficulties with the phone but after 2months of using it, i find that the phone lacks some parts in some fields. Yet, nokia N73 is better and well organized. the O2 do not have an organized memory for sms, contacts and many more. There are no options to store your contacts directly either in the phone memory, MiniSD or sim card. I had to do it manually... From phone to PC and from PC to phone, that is if u wanna move lots of contacts. Im goona buy a Nokia N73 or N77 or N95...

Does anyone know how to hide sim card contacts in Stealth? When a call comes in, the phone looks for the contact name on the sim card first and so the assigned picture won't show and the ring tone won't ring. I tried using filtering but it didn't work. Any tricks or tips or third party applications?

If you're buying a Stealth, make sure it's got a new rom installed. It should be RM061208. If not, download from O2 and upgrade it yourself. Although it's still a bit slow, it works much better overall with the new rom.

hey guys, i am using the stealth its been more than 3 month and yes it has some disadvantages such as the keypad, network performance, freezing sometimes, ect... Until i upgraded the ROM last week and till now its running perfectly.
The Ezitext is upgraded, you can use it as the nokia phones by choosing the new multitab function.
Its more faster and i always run GPRS and it never frozes or stops.
My advice to you is to go to see02.com, find an upgrade from the region you purchased the phone and instal it.
You will find a big difference...

Stealth is my 3rd O2. Had no problem with my former XDAs but with Stealth, too often being frozed. Most of time from phone operation. Rather annoyance.

I hardly use bluetooth headphone, thus it often hang, unexpectedly turn on Wifi while in conversations, does not return to normal mode after unsuccessful calls. These never
happened to my O2 S or Atom.

Wondering if it's not suitable for high cheek bones that do not use headset! But then it never happened to my former O2!

Appreciate any suggestions to correct the problem.

The ezitext aint any easy at all lol.
I find using the handwritting recognition is quite fun ,so i use it for texting.
The stealth is a fun little phone, i get quite a good deal for it, $430 shipped, so i say it worth the money

This is about the keypad that I thought was useless too. To type text using the keypad, first you have to select eZiText. Then on the keypad press and hold *abc/123 button and you'll see a pop-up on the screen with a choice of abc or 123. It should toggle between abc/123 when the button is pressed. But NO they had to make it complicated. Everytime you want to switch, you have to press and hold and choose then continue your texting. Man!

nice phone, but rather large and heavy, though happy with having AF cam and Windows OS and everything else.
