HTC Touch: Anyway to hide SIM contacts and view only Outlook contacts?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to not get the SIM contacts to appear on the phone in the contact list. I re-did my contact list on the Touch because the SIM cards can't hold as much info (ie. emails, birthdays, etc.) but if I save the number to the SIM card as a back up, the name and number appear twice. One as an Outlook contact and the other as the SIM contact.

Anyway to get the SIM contacts without erasing them all, which is what I've currently done? On all my previous phones, the phone book gives you the option of viewing 1) Phone Contacts 2) Sim Contacts or 3) Both Phone and Sim Contacts

Search the Kaiser/Tilt forums for KaiserSimFix.cab.

It can be done by a registry edit... This was driving me nuts as well...

Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone] "ShowSIM"=dword:00000001 ->0 to disable, 1 to enable.

If you use Pocket CM (which is awesome and free) it only shows outlook contacts. If you try it install the .15 cab then overwrite the folder where it is installed with the .16 version (no cab available). Its much faster. Also make sure you install it to phone memory not to your storage card.
