Try and find any alternative "view" of your contacts on Google's online service. Like sorting by last name, or address cards, or ANYTHING other than an a-z of first names.

You're right in that *out of the box*, Android is NOT suitable for heavy use/business use like a Blackberry (or even a WinMo) phone is. Yes there are third party alternatives but people (and more so businesses) don't consider these when making a choice.

Guess that Android is NOT seen by Google as destined for the heavy/business use market.
Ha Ha I thought it was just me caught out by this. But there is a solution.
If you scroll down to the address with the track ball. Once the address is highlighted it will start to scroll and voila you can read it all. I imagine this works with the other fields as well should you have a very long phone number or email address
