After installing IM v.2.5, the IM field in Contacts is missing by default. It only shows when you’re online with the IM application and the particular contact is online.

This is a drawback, because I usually store some people IM without actually adding them in my IM

I hope RIM will make the IM field back again by default in Contacts

It looks like you lose the headshoot when you reboot.

I so keep having to remove and readd the wive from my screen.

Having her there makes me happy.

I’ve noticed these go away on their own. I created 3 the day I heard about this, and had to add them again the next day because they were gone.

Also not sure if this was talked about but BBM 5.0.8 gives you the same ability to do this, and that one seems to forget the person’s headshot to display and reverts on its own to just the generic cartoon head after a while. Anyone else find this??

Make sure when you are trying to remove the icon that you actually select “Remove from homescreen” because delete will delete the application from your device.
