Do you know, I cannot believe that 'bug' has not been fixed yet! I filled a bug report about that problem several months ago, since then we have gone through 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and still it has not bee included. Oddly one reason I ditched the iPhone after a week of use was it's inability to dial numbers from the calendar, I tested a G1 and it worked. To my horror I then found I could not dial phone numbers in emails from the G1 (something you could do on the iPhone) Another basic annoyance is the inability to search Calendars .
