Abstract
A method is provided to remind a user of a communication device of a conversation point for a future communication. The communication device has access to a contact list, with each contact list entry configured to retrieve a communication address of an entity, a name identifying the entity, and any user-inputted memo for reminding of a conversation point. The method comprises receiving an input indicating a need to activate a first contact list entry for the user to perform at least one of receiving and requesting a communication addressed to the communication address thereof. The method further comprises checking whether there is any user-inputted memo attached to the first contact list entry, and causing an indication indicating a presence of the memo to be automatically displayed on the display screen during activating of the first contact list entry when the memo is detected attached thereto.
