Here you go, I am paying attention:

Dunno if it's possible
Dunno if there is a third Party app

You don't mention what phone .. (series 60 covers a number of symbian based
nokia phones)

I've got a 6600, which works the way you describe. Unless you are moving
your sim around, your best to copy to phone memory, and just use your sim
memory as a backup .. sim memory is both slower, and limited in capacity and
functionality. (sim memory doesnt have proper setups for multiple numbers
per name, and extra info being tagged to a name, and most sim cards only
allow for 100 entries, some even less!)

I've yet ot get it on my phone, but the latest 6600 firmware mentions
options for dealing with sim phone book being added, so it may well already
be resolved.

I'm re-typing the replies to your earlier post (rant) here as well:

On Series 60 phones, it's as easy as: Menu -> SIM -> SIM Directory.
Does 3 qualify as "a lot of menus"?
No, technically, it's 2 menus and 1 item - even less menus.

If that's still too much trouble, add a voice command to that item (see
p76 & p77 of the 7610 manual).
