add category(proffession) to the contact general description

[lawyerms]

I know there is a category section in contacts, but it is not useful. Why,
because I want to list my contacts like they are listed in the yellow
pages..i.e... attorney, plumber, hvac, judge, etc...

Why, for search purposes, I could just press one of the buttons like "l" for
lawyer. I don't always remember names and companies, but I do know the
category. Also, when I down load to my pocket pc, it is easier to enter the
name as lawyer and it brings up all the lawyers in my pc. If I have to go to
category first it is too cumbersome.

It's more user friendly.

Any reason you can't add the categories you want and use the "By Category"
View?
I don't see any of the functionality that you are requesting that isn't
already there.
