Note that the notes for Version 2.0.1 says it does include all the 
changes from 1.6.6 and 1.6.7. The notes for 2.0.0 shoulw probably say 
"does not include ALL the changes", because it does include some. It 
specifically mentions the 48 buddies feature, which then leads some 
people to assume that the feature was new for 2.0.0, whereas you are 
correct in that it was actually introduced for the first time in 1.6.6.

Yes, I am running 1.6.6 on my 501, and I have noticed that bug also. Its 
not just when accessing it via the arrow keys. It doesn't work sometimes 
when you access via numeric keys or the select softkey and then 
explicitly pressing the dial softkey. I see no reference in any of the 
release notes to this bug being fixed. I wonder if Polycom knows about it?
