Picking a phone entry with a contact that has multiple numbers

Here is a neat feature you can use with your Windows Mobile device if you have a contact that has multiple phone entries.

When you have a contact highlighted you can press the d-pad Left and Right keys to change communication methods for the person (work, home, mobile, txt, email etc). Watch really close when pressing Left/Right, and you'll see the tiny "w" turn to "m", "h", "e" etc.

This is a neat option when you want to call someone and the "default" number is not the one you want.

It allows to change the default number too. When one scrolls through the numbers using the d-pad and stops to the selected entry (i.e. h, w etc.), WM "remembers" the choice next time you look for the same contact, so establishing a new default (normally is cellphone).
