Have created People shortcuts in a folder. The problem is the icons are so close together the text can't be read. Any way to get a list view (like the People listing) so full names can be viewied rather than in grid layout?
Not yet (that I know of). You could always shorten the names, but that really doesn't make much sense. Maybe there is another application in the market that will get you where you want to go.
you can use the fav. people widget HTC makes if you want to take up a whole home screen. I find that its easy enough to search people quickly so I dont have any need to create shortcuts. You could also use speed dial as an alternative.
