CHAPTER
NOTE You do not need to press Option to
access the numbers on the keyboard.
However, when dialing short numbers,
such as 411, the number may conflict with
a contact name. If this occurs, press
Option to avoid starting a contact
lookup. You can always dial emergency call
numbers without pressing Option first.
Dialing by contact name
You can look up contacts quickly by
entering just a few letters of a contact’s
name directly from your Today screen.
Before you can dial a call by contact name,
you must create some contacts (see
“Adding a contact” on page 53) or import
them by synchronizing (see “Synchronizing
contacts and other info” on page 23).
1 Go to your Today screen (see “Using
your Today screen” on page 22).
2 Using the keyboard, begin entering one
of the following for the contact you
want to call:
• First name (JOH for John)
• Last name (SMI for Smith)
• First initial, a space, and then last
initial (J S for John Smith)
• First name and last name
(JOH SMI for John Smith)
For example, entering SM finds both
Smilla Anderson and John Smith.
Entering SM A finds only Smilla
Anderson.
3 Select the number you want to dial.
4 Press Phone/Send to dial.
