Motorola isn't as good, but you can display just Primary numbers, which is
similar.

My T720s allow multiple numbers but the numbers must be stored to the
phone (not the SIM) and you use the different symbols (Main,Work,
Home. etc.) to differentiate the different numbers. Also your
phonebook setup should be "Sort By:Name" and "View: Primary Contacts".
You must make sure that the name is the same for each entry. HTH.

Glad you got it sorted out. I've come to the same conclusion. Voice
dialing, etc. works the same way. If the numbers are stored to the
phone, you're OK but not if they're stored to the SIM.
